Super Typhoon #UwanPH continued to batter the Bicol Region with fierce winds and heavy rain morning on Sunday, November 9, 2025 as it maintained its strength while moving closer to Aurora, where it is expected to make landfall later tonight or early morning on Monday, November 10.
At 11 a.m., the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the eye of Uwan was located over the coastal waters of Pandan, Catanduanes, moving west northwest at 30 kilometers per hour (km/h).
It packed maximum sustained winds of 185 km/h near the center and gusts reaching up to 230 km/h.
According to PAGASA, Uwan’s impact remains life-threatening, with extreme winds and storm surges already being felt across parts of Bicol, especially Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur.
PAGASA said Uwan is forecast to pass close to Calaguas and Polillo Islands before hitting the central portion of Aurora at or near its peak strength.
A “direct hit,” meaning the eyewall could pass over these islands even without a landfall, remains possible.
After crossing Aurora, Uwan will move across the mountainous areas of Northern Luzon, weakening slightly but staying as a typhoon as it exits through Lingayen Gulf or the coastal waters of Pangasinan or La Union by Monday morning.
It will then move toward Taiwan and is expected to weaken further by midweek.

Storm surges exceeding three meters are likely within the next 48 hours along low-lying coastal communities of Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Quezon, Aurora, Metro Manila, and nearby provinces, PAGASA warned.
Residents in these areas are urged to evacuate if advised by local authorities.
Sea conditions across Luzon and the Visayas remain extremely dangerous.
Waves could reach up to 14 meters high along the eastern coasts of Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, and Aurora. Sea travel is suspended across affected waters, and small boats and all types of vessels are advised to stay in port until the weather improves.
PAGASA reminded the public not to focus solely on the typhoon’s center track, as heavy rains, destructive winds, and coastal flooding can affect areas far from where the eye passes.
Residents in high-risk areas are urged to stay alert for evacuation advisories and updates from local authorities.
