THE state weather bureau warned the public on Sunday morning, November 9, 2025, not to focus on the center track of Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung-Wong), stressing that it may still shift within the limit of the forecast confidence cone.
In its 11 a.m. Sunday bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that heavy rainfall, severe winds, and storm surge may still be experienced far from the landfall point or center track, and even in areas outside the forecast confidence cone.
It said that Uwan has maintained its strength as life threatening conditions continued over Bicol Region.
As of 10 a.m. Sunday, the center of Uwan was spotted over the coastal waters of Pandan, Catanduanes, packing maximum winds of 185 kilometers per hour (km/h), gusts of up to 230 km/h, and central pressure of 935 hPa. It was moving west northwestward at 30 km/h.
Pagasa said that strong to typhoon-force winds may extend outwards up to 800 kilometers from the center of Uwan, which was forecast to move west northwestward over the next 24 hours.
Based on the forecast track, the center of Uwan is expected to continue to move over the coastal waters of Catanduanes, pass close to Calaguas and Polillo Islands Sunday morning and afternoon, respectively, before making landfall at or near its peak intensity (e.g., as a super typhoon or an upper limit typhoon) over the central portion of Aurora Sunday night or early morning Monday, November 10.
“Due to its proximity, a direct hit (i.e., eyewall affecting the area without making landfall) over Calaguas and Polillo Islands is possible,” said Pagasa.
After landfall, Uwan will traverse the mountainous terrain of northern Luzon and emerge over Lingayen Gulf or the coastal waters of Pangasinan or La Union on Monday morning, added the weather bureau.
It said the interaction with the terrain will cause Uwan to weaken significantly, but it is expected to remain as typhoon throughout its passage over northern Luzon.
