Currently, a strong storm is active in the sea east of the central Philippines, international name is Fung-wong. Early this afternoon, November 8, the strongest wind near the storm center is level 13 (134-149km/h), gusting to level 16. The storm is moving in a West-Northwest direction, at a speed of about 30km/h.
According to the latest report this afternoon from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, Typhoon Fung-wong is operating in a very favorable environment with high sea surface temperatures (29 - 30 degrees Celsius), low vertical wind shear, so the storm will continue to strengthen.
Tomorrow, November 9, the storm is likely to strengthen to super typhoon level.
When it approaches the sea southeast of Luzon Island (Philippines), encountering unfavorable environmental conditions, the storm is likely to decrease in intensity.
At around the morning of November 10, Typhoon Fung-wong is likely to move into the eastern sea of the North East Sea, becoming the 14th active storm in the East Sea in 2025.
At this time, the subtropical depression branch in the North (the path for the storm to move) weakens in intensity and expands further south of the storm. This factor leads to more typhoons tending to move northward. When it rises to a higher latitude, the storm will enter the path of the upper west wind zone, so it is likely to change direction to the northeast and exit the East Sea.
Normally, at the end of the season, storms often move westward, even west-southwestward, and make landfall in the southern provinces of the Central region. However, Typhoon Fung-Wong moved north and out. This is the unusual point of this storm.
Regarding the impact of the storm, due to the influence combined with the strengthening of the cold air to shift east, from tonight (November 8), the eastern sea area of the North East Sea has had strong northeast winds of level 6-7, gusting to level 8-9.
From tomorrow night (November 9), the wind in this sea will increase to level 8-9; the area near the storm center will be strong at level 10-12, gusting to level 14-15, waves 3-5m high, then increasing to 6-8m. The sea is rough.
At around the morning of November 10, Typhoon Fung-wong is likely to move into the East Sea with an intensity of level 13, gusting to level 16 and maintaining its intensity when moving north, so on November 10-12, the eastern sea area of the North East Sea is likely to be affected by strong typhoon winds of level 11-13, gusting to level 16, waves 8-10m high. The sea is rough.
All ships operating in the above-mentioned dangerous areas are likely to be affected by thunderstorms, strong whirlwinds, strong winds and large waves.
