Typhoon Uwan Forecast to Strike Flood-Weary Philippines
After deadly flooding devastated the Philippines, a stronger typhoon is approaching.
Current Situation and Impact of Typhoon Kalmaegi
Typhoon Kalmaegi, known locally as Tino, has left parts of the Philippines severely damaged. Search and rescue operations are underway, with over 100 fatalities confirmed as people begin to recover from the destruction.
Incoming Threat: Typhoon Fung-wong (Uwan)
Typhoon Fung-wong, called Uwan in the Philippines, is expected to be much stronger than Kalmaegi. AccuWeather meteorologists predict it will reach the strength of a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale before making landfall in the northern Philippines on Sunday.
"The combination of heavy rain, strong winds and coastal flooding will result in Fung-wong/Uwan being a 5 on the AccuWeather RealImpact™ Scale for Tropical Cyclones in the northern Philippines, the strongest rating on the scale."
Storm Path and Strength
- Fung-wong has intensified into a typhoon located northwest of Yap Island.
- It is moving westward and expected to follow a west-northwest track from Friday through Monday local time.
- A turn north and northeast is forecast by mid-next week, potentially affecting Taiwan.
This severe storm threatens the already flood-hit regions, highlighting the need for urgent preparedness and response.
