TYPHOON Uwan continues to rapidly intensify as it moves closer to the Philippine Sea east of the Bicol Region, according to Pagasa’s 5 p.m. advisory on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
The center of Uwan was estimated at 575 kilometers east of Catarman, Northern Samar, or 620 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes.
It packs maximum sustained winds of 150 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 185 km/hour while moving west-northwestward at 30 km/hour.
Pagasa warned of a high risk of life-threatening storm surges with peak heights exceeding three meters within 48 hours over low-lying or exposed coastal areas, including parts of Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, Bicol, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, and portions of Mindanao such as Dinagat and Siargao Islands.
Uwan is expected to make landfall over southern portion of Isabela or the northern portion of Aurora on Sunday evening, November 9, or early Monday, November 10.
It will then traverse the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon and emerge over Lingayen Gulf or the coastal waters of Pangasinan or La Union on Monday.
Pagasa added that the typhoon may intensify into a super typhoon by Saturday night or Sunday due to highly favorable atmospheric conditions.
