After pounding the Philippines on October 31, typhoon Mirinae weakened into a tropical storm and entered the East Sea, becoming the 11th storm in the region.

At 16.00 on October 31, the storm was centred at 14.2 degrees north latitude and 118.2 degrees east longitude, packing winds of between 89-102km/h near its centre. In the next 24 hours it is forecast to move between west and south-west at a speed of 20-25km/h and weaken further.

At 13.00 on November 1, Mirinae is positioned 530km east of the south-central coast from Binh Dinh to Khanh Hoa provinces. Its force winds extend outward from the center to as far as 84km/h.

The storm will bring heavy rains and cause rough seas along the central coast in a couple of days, according to the National Hydro-meteorological Forecasting Centre.

Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai has asked ministries, sectors and south-central provinces to be well prepared for the storm, especially in the areas which were severely ravaged by storm Ketsana a month ago.

Meanwhile, a cold snap is expected to affect the northern and north-central regions on November 1. It will bring rains and cause temperatures to fall by 5-7oC.
