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 center of the storm is level 13 (134-149 km/h), gusting to level 16. The storm is moving in the West Northwest direction, speed about 30 km/h.

According to the latest report this afternoon from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, storm 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's intensity will continue to increase.

Tomorrow, November 9 , the storm is likely to strengthen to reach super storm level.

When entering the sea area southeast of Luzon Island (Philippines), encountering unfavorable environmental conditions, the storm is likely to weaken in intensity.

Around the morning of November 10 , storm Fung-wong is likely to move into the eastern sea of the North East Sea, becoming the 14th storm active in the East Sea in 2025.

At this time, the subtropical pressure branch in the north (the channel that guides the storm's movement) weakens in intensity and expands further south of the storm. This factor leads to the storm's tendency to move more northward. As it moves to higher latitudes, the storm will enter the channel of the upper westerly wind zone, so it is likely to change direction to the northeast and move out of the East Sea.

Normally, at the end of the season, typhoons often move west, even west-southwest, and make landfall in the southern central provinces. However, typhoon Fung-Wong moved north and went out. This is the unusual point of this typhoon.

Regarding the impact of the storm , due to the combined influence of cold air moving eastward, from tonight (November 8), the eastern sea of the North East Sea area will have strong northeast winds of level 6-7, gusting to level 8-9.

From tomorrow night (November 9), the wind in this sea area will increase to level 8-9; near the storm center it will increase to level 10-12, gusting to level 14-15, waves 3-5m high, then increasing to 6-8m. The sea will be very rough.

Around the morning of November 10, typhoon Fung-wong is likely to move into the East Sea with a level 13 intensity, gusting to level 16, and maintain its intensity as it moves northward. Therefore, during November 10-12, the eastern sea area of the North East Sea is likely to be affected by strong storm winds of level 11-13, gusting to level 16, and waves of 8-10m high. The sea will be very rough.

All vessels operating in the above mentioned danger zones are susceptible to storms, strong winds and large waves.
