What's unusual about Typhoon Fung-Wong

At 1:00 p.m. on November 8 , the center of the storm was at about 12.8 degrees North latitude; 130.6 degrees East longitude. The strongest wind near the center of the storm was level 13 (134-149 km/h), gusting to level 16. Moving in the West Northwest direction, speed about 30 km/h.

It is forecasted that around the morning of November 10, storm Fung-Wong is likely to move into the eastern sea area of the North East Sea.

National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting also said that currently, typhoon Fung-Wong is operating in a very favorable environment with high sea surface temperature (29-30 degrees Celsius), low vertical wind shear, ... so the storm's intensity will continue to increase and is likely to reach super typhoon level tomorrow (November 9). 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, Typhoon 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 guiding stream for the storm to move) weakens in intensity and expands further south of the storm. This leads to the storm tending to move more to the North. When moving to higher latitudes, the storm will enter the guiding stream of the upper westerly wind zone, so it is likely to change direction to the Northeast and move out of the East Sea.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting said that normally, at the end of the season, storms often move west, even west-southwest, and make landfall in the southern central provinces. However, storm Fung-Wong moved north and went out. This is the unusual point of this storm.

Due to the combined influence of the cold air shifting eastward, 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 area will strengthen to level 8-9; near the storm center, it will be strong at level 10-12, gusting to level 14-15, with waves 3.0-5.0m high, later increasing to 6.0-8.0m. 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, so from November 10 to 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 8.0-10.0m 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.
