- Typhoon Fung-wong, the 32nd storm of the 2025 Pacific season, underwent rapid intensification on November 8, reaching Category 2 status with 110 mph winds and a 970 mb pressure, driven by sea surface temperatures exceeding 30°C that fueled explosive convection visible in satellite imagery.
- The attached animation depicts the storm's eye formation and westward track toward Luzon, Philippines, with a slight southward deviation increasing risks for Catanduanes island, where forecasts predict 200-300 mm of rain and gusts over 100 mph within 24 hours.
- Following Typhoon Kalmaegi's deadly toll of 209 lives earlier in November, Fung-wong's projected super typhoon peak could displace over 500,000 people, underscoring the Philippines' vulnerability to back-to-back cyclones amid a hyperactive season.
