Abstract

This article aims to provide information about the activities of tropical cyclones in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean, Viet Nam’s East Sea and landed on Viet Nam in 2019. In additional, the analysis of the characteristics of tropical cyclones such as track, intensity, maximum sustained wind and heavy rainfall are also introduced to summarize the 2019’s typhoon season. The results show that there are 12 tropical cyclones in Viet Nam’s East Sea in 2019 which are lower than the climatological normal and 6 of them made landfall in Viet Nam. In comparison with scopes of the 2901/QĐ-BTNMT dated in 16th December 2016 of MONRE (the Decision on updating the potential risk maps for typhoon-induced severely wind and storm surge in Viet Nam), the maximum sustained wind is weaker whilst the typhoon-induced rainfall amount is higher.
