⚠️ Update: Network data show widening internet outages in #Philippines as Super Typhoon Fung-Wong makes landfall near Aurora province, resulting in damage to infrastructure and power outages 🌀 #UwanPH
Only one week after #Typhoon #Kalmaegi:
#FungWong (Philippine name #Uwan, Japanese Typhoon Number 26) is located 239 km east of Manila, #Philippines, and has tracked west-northwestward at 30 km/h (16 knots) over the past 6 hours. Maximum significant wave height is 12.8 meters (42 feet).
Fung-wong is forecast to make landfall south of #BalerBay, Philippines over the next 12 hours with a significant weakening of the system structure expected due to topographic interactions.
Fung-wong will then enter the #SouthChinaSea, likely passing north of #SantiagoIsland, Philippines, though some uncertainty remains due the influence of frictional effects of the terrain.
