Live tracking map, satellite images and forecasts of Tropical Depression 17W 2025 near Hanoi, Vietnam. Current wind speed 55km/h.
17W is located 176 km southeast of Hanoi, Vietnam, and has tracked northward at 11 km/h (6 knots) over the past 6 hours. Maximum significant wave height is 3.7 meters (12 feet).
17W is forecast to continue tracking northward along the southwestern edge of the subtropical ridge to the northeast through the forecast period.
The system is not expected to intensify prior to make landfall, which is expected to occur in the vicinity of ha long, Vietnam within the next 6 hours.
17W will steadily weaken after making landfall and ultimately dissipate with the next 24 hours over far-southern China. Deterministic track guidance is in strong agreement that 17W will follow a northward track through the forecast period and the JTWC forecast is positioned near the consensus mean with high confidence.
Intensity guidance is also in good agreement, with all models showing a flat intensity trend over the next 12 hours, followed by rapid weakening through dissipation in 24 hours.
