Severe Tropical Storm Uwan re-enters PAR, Signal No. 1 over Batanes

Severe Tropical Storm Uwan, internationally known as Fung-Wong, has re-entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 has been hoisted over Batanes as the storm is located 210 kilometers north of Itbayat, Batanes.

Uwan is moving east-northeastward at 10 km/h with maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gusts up to 90 kph.

The storm is forecast to make landfall over southern Taiwan on Wednesday evening before moving towards the Ryukyu Islands.

PAGASA expects Uwan to weaken into a remnant low due to unfavorable conditions and land interaction upon making landfall in Taiwan.

The trough of Uwan may bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Ilocos Norte, Batanes, and Babuyan Islands.
