On Friday, November 7, 2025, PAGASA warned that heavy rainfall is expected in at least 25 provinces across Luzon and the Visayas on Sunday as Severe Tropical Storm Fung-wong, to be named Uwan once it enters the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), continues to intensify.

The state weather bureau said heavy to intense rain, ranging from 100 to 200 millimeters, is forecast in Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes.

Moderate to heavy rain, or 50 to 100 millimeters, is expected in Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Batanes, Cagayan, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, and Biliran.

PAGASA stated rainfall totals may increase in mountainous or elevated areas, adding that previous rains could worsen flooding and landslides in some locations. 

“Forecast rainfall may be higher in mountainous and elevated areas. Moreover, impacts in some areas may be worsened by significant antecedent rainfall,” the agency said.

Meanwhile, PAGASA also reported Fung-wong strengthened into a severe tropical storm early Friday morning and is expected to enter the PAR by midnight or early Saturday. 

The weather system may reach typhoon status within 24 hours and could further intensify into a super typhoon by Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Current forecasts show that possible Super Typhoon Uwan could make landfall in Northern or Central Luzon on Monday.

Authorities have advised local governments in potentially affected areas to prepare for possible flooding, strong winds, and landslides. 

The agency urged residents to remain alert and monitor official weather bulletins as the storm approaches the country.
