Always refer to the latest hazard warnings currently in effect (e.g., Wind Signals, Heavy Rainfall Warnings, Storm Surge Warnings) and the information under โOther Hazards affecting Land Areasโ of this bulletin for more details.
โข UWAN will continue moving west northwestward in the next 12 hours. Afterwards, while moving northwestward to northward over the West Philippine Sea, UWAN is forecast to re-intensify between tomorrow and Wednesday (12 November).
โข By Wednesday afternoon or evening, it will begin to turn northeastward towards Taiwan Strait and due to unfavorable environmental conditions, a weakening trend is expected through the remaining forecast period. On the forecast track, the center of UWAN will make landfall over western Taiwan on Thursday (13 November).
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials.
