Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are near 75 km/hr (40 knots) with higher gusts. HAIMA (EGAY) is a Tropical Storm (TS) on the Saffir-Simpson Tropical Cyclone Scale.
*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Extended Forecast Track have an average error of 250 km on Day 3...450 km on Day 4...and 650 km on Day 5, while the wind speed forecast error, averages 35 kph per day. Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.
EFFECTS & HAZARDS SUMMARY CURRENT SW MONSOON INTENSITY: STRONG >> Mostly cloudy with widespread moderate to heavy on-&-off rains w/ squalls & thunderstorms will be expected along the following affected areas: VIETNAM & NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. Moderate to strong SW'ly winds (not in excess of 65 kph) will blow.
HAIMA's (EGAY) circulation has become compact upon moving into the Gulf of Tonkin.. Most of its intense raincloud convection remains to the south and southwest of the low-level circulation center (LLCC). Below are the summary of the depression's parts and its hazards affecting specific areas: 
INNER RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting Coastal areas of Northern Vietnam & the Gulf of Tonkin. Tropical Storm Conditions w/ Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-95 kph) can be expected along these bands. RAINBANDS - spreading & affecting rest of Northern Vietnam & Hainan Island. Tropical Depression Conditions w/ moderate to strong winds (30-61 kph) can be expected along these bands (click here to know more about Rainbands). 24HR TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATION - from 5 up to 150 mm (low to high rainfall) can be expected along the outer & inner rainbands...with isolated amounts of up to 450 mm (high) south and southwest from the center of HAIMA (EGAY).

JTWC (US NAVY & AIR FORCE) REMARKS:
REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) FRI 24 JUNE POSITION: 21.4N 110.0E.
*TROPICAL DEPRESSION (TD) 06W (HAIMA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 175 NM
EAST OF HANOI, VIETNAM HAS TRACKED WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD AT 09 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. RECENT ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS DEEP CONVECTION REBUILDING OVER THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) FOLLOWING ITS REEMERGENCE OVER
THE GULF OF TONKIN. A 231904Z 89GHZ AMSU-B MICROWAVE IMAGE DEPICTS
TWO SEPERATE CONVECTIVE BANDS OVER THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN
QUADRANTS CURVING IN TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED AMSU PASS AS WELL AS A
PREVIOUS 231901Z AMSU-B IMAGE. INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON AN
AVERAGE OF DVORAK T-NUMBER INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND RJTD OF
1.5 AND 2.5, RESPECTIVELY. ADDITIONALLY, OBSERVATIONS IN THE AREA
SUPPORT A PRESSURE ANALYSIS OF 996MB, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
CURRENT WIND SPEED ANALYSIS. TD 06W IS TRACKING ALONG THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY OF A NARROW LOW TO MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE NORTH. THIS
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD, CARRYING
TD 06W INLAND BY TAU 24. MODEST INTENSIFICATION WILL OCCUR AS GOOD
EQUATORWARD OUTFLOW AND PASSAGE OVER WARM WATER OFFSETS THE NEGATIVE
IMPACT OF MODERATE NORTHEASTERLY VERTICAL WIND SHEAR...(more)
