Typhoon Fung-wong

Fung-wong (Uwan) was a typhoon in South China Sea that brought impacts to the Philippines.

Fung-wong formed as a tropical storm in the western Pacific Ocean on November 6, 2025. As it advanced westward towards the Philippines, a state of emergency was issued for the country.

On November 9, Fung-wong rapidly intensified into a super typhoon just before making landfall in the Aurora province of the Philippines with of 115 mph (185 km/h). Fung-wong’s heavy rains and powerful winds brought flooding, landslides, and power outages to the Philippines. The typhoon has forced millions to evacuate and has been attributed to eight deaths in the island country. This was the second typhoon to impact the Philippines in the course of one week, coming several days after Typhoon Kalmaegi’s devastating landfall.

After moving into the South China Sea, Fung-wong weakened as it turned north and set its sights on Taiwan. When it arrived at the island nation on November 12, it brought heavy rains that caused floods, resulting in dozens being injured.

After moving past Taiwan and back over the western Pacific Ocean, Fung-wong dissipated on November 13.
