Approaching Tropical Cyclone UWAN Prompts Major Rainfall Alert Across the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines – Authorities have issued a serious weather alert as Tropical Cyclone UWAN continues its approach, threatening to unleash torrential rainfall across wide swaths of the Philippines over the next three days. Weather Advisory No. 6, released at 11:00 AM on November 8, 2025, details the severe heavy rainfall expected, urging immediate preparedness from the public and disaster response teams.

Immediate Threat: Luzon and Eastern Visayas Brace for Downpour

The most immediate and severe impact is forecast from today until noon tomorrow (November 9), with the Bicol Region expected to bear the brunt of the storm’s fury.

• Extreme Rainfall (>200 mm): Residents in Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, and Sorsogon must prepare for life-threatening flash floods and landslides.
• Heavy Rainfall (100-200 mm): Significant rainfall is also expected in Quezon, Masbate, Marinduque, Northern Samar, and Eastern Samar.
• Moderate Rainfall (50-100 mm): Areas including Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, Romblon, Samar, and Biliran should also anticipate substantial rain.

Shift in Focus: Northern and Central Luzon Under Extreme Threat

The rainfall forecast shifts dramatically from tomorrow noon to Monday noon (November 10), placing the entire Northern and Central Luzon regions under an extreme rainfall threat.

• Extreme Rainfall (>200 mm): A vast area, including Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, the entire Cordillera Administrative Region (Apayao, Kalinga, Abra, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Benguet), Cagayan Valley (Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya), Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, and Zambales, is now on high alert for catastrophic flooding.
• Heavy Rainfall (100-200 mm): This extends to Metro Manila, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, and Occidental Mindoro.
• Moderate Rainfall (50-100 mm): Rainfall will also affect Batanes, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur.

Lingering Rain Expected into Next Week

While the intensity is projected to lessen, significant rain will persist from Monday noon to Tuesday noon (November 11).

• Heavy Rainfall (100-200 mm): Benguet will continue to experience heavy rain, posing an elevated risk for landslides in its mountainous terrain.
• Moderate Rainfall (50-100 mm): Areas in Northern Luzon, including Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, and Zambales, must remain vigilant.

Public Urged to Heed Warnings

The weather bureau stressed that actual rainfall amounts could be significantly higher, particularly in mountainous and elevated areas, and where ground saturation is already high from previous rains.

“The public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property,” the advisory stated.

Regional services are expected to issue more precise Heavy Rainfall Warnings, Rainfall/Thunderstorm Advisories, and other severe weather information tailored to local conditions.

Crucial Distinction: The advisory clarified the difference between a broad, 24-hour Weather Advisory (which covers provincial-level outlooks) and the more precise, three-hour, municipal-level Heavy Rainfall Warning. While the Advisory provides a heads-up on potential danger, it should not be used as the definitive basis for official decisions like class suspensions, which require the real-time accuracy of the shorter-term Warnings issued by regional divisions.

The next Weather Advisory update is scheduled for 11:00 PM tonight, unless significant changes in the storm’s trajectory or intensity necessitate an earlier report.
