Tropische Depressie Maysak richting de Filippijnen
De tropische depressie Maysak, die zich midden van vorige week heeft ontwikkeld in de Zuid-Chinese Zee is de twintigste tropische depressie van het stormseizoen in het westelijk deel van de Stille Oceaan.
De storm is ontstaan ten westen van Mindaro, en is opweg naar Vietnam met windsnelheden die tot nu toe oplopen tot 55km/hr. Er wordt gevreesd dat Maysak zou leiden tot verdere overstromingen en ernstige ontwrichting door het gevolg van aanhoudende zware regen in centraal Vietnam. Maar zoals het er nu voor staat koerst Maysak af op de Filippijnen.
De beweging van Maysak wordt beïnvloed door het jaarlijks uitbreken van de Oost-Aziatische moesson. Daardoor stroomt relatief koele en droge lucht richting de regio. Maysak is de tweede tropische depressie die de Filippijnen in een week zal aandoen. Op 6 november vorig week was er ook een tropische depressie genaamd Rolly, die heeft zich toen gevormd ten westen van de Filippijnse Zee, en veroorzaakte zware regenval in het zuidelijk deel van het land.

Floods kill 11 in central and southern Vietnam
The country braced for more rain as another tropical weather system approached, forecasters said. Floods caused by surging high tides submerged thousands of homes in the southern commercial hub of Ho Chi Minh City over the weekend, according to state media.
No deaths were reported in the city, but television footage showed homes and streets in the downtown area under three feet (one meter) of water. At least eight people were killed in heavy rains in southern Khanh Hoa province over the weekend, including a 2-year-old boy who drowned, said disaster official Pham Van Quang.
In neighboring Phu Yen province, the bodies of three children were recovered Sunday after being washed away from their homes, said provincial official Dang Thi Lanh. The floods disrupted the main highway and railway links between northern and southern Vietnam. Flights were canceled to Nha Trang, a southern beach resort town. Thousands of passengers were stranded, Lanh said.
Rains had stopped in most areas by Sunday afternoon, but a tropical low pressure system was moving toward the country's central and southern coast and was expected to bring more heavy rain to the already hard-hit areas, the national forecaster said. We have mobilized hundreds of militiamen to help people in low-lying villages to reinforce their houses, Lanh said.
Vietnam is prone to floods, which kill hundreds each year. Last week, 94 people died in floods that inundated the capital, Hanoi, and other provinces in the country's northern and central regions.
