#UwanPH (international name: Fung-Wong) strengthened into a super typhoon morning on Saturday, November 9, 2025, bringing life-threatening winds, intense rain, and violent sea conditions to Catanduanes and nearby areas as it moved closer to Luzon, according to PAGASA.

At 8 a.m., PAGASA said the eye of Uwan was spotted 125 kilometers east-northeast of Virac, Catanduanes, carrying maximum sustained winds of 185 km/h and gusts reaching up to 230 km/h while moving west-northwest at 25 km/h.

The weather bureau warned that life-threatening conditions are now being experienced in Catanduanes, with extreme winds, heavy rainfall, and dangerous coastal flooding expected to worsen throughout the day.

According to PAGASA, Uwan may pass close to Catanduanes this morning before making landfall over Aurora tonight or early Sunday morning. A direct hit over Catanduanes remains possible if the typhoon’s path shifts slightly south.

The storm may make landfall at or near its peak strength, bringing widespread damage in areas directly in its path. It is forecast to cross Northern Luzon before emerging over Lingayen Gulf or the coastal waters of Pangasinan or La Union by Monday morning.

Even areas far from the landfall point may still experience heavy rains, destructive winds, and coastal flooding.
