The Thai Meteorological Department has confirmed that Super Typhoon Fung-won, currently packing sustained winds of 230 kilometers per hour, is poised to make landfall on Luzon Island in the Philippines. The powerful storm, classified as a super typhoon, is expected to bring devastating conditions including torrential rainfall and five-meter-high waves to the region.

Authorities in the Philippines have initiated large-scale evacuations, moving over 100,000 residents to safer areas ahead of the typhoon’s anticipated arrival late tonight or early tomorrow. The storm’s trajectory will take it across Luzon before moving into the northern reaches of the South China Sea, eventually heading toward the Taiwan Strait.

The Thai Meteorological Department emphasized that the storm system will not impact weather conditions in Thailand. This comes as the Philippines continues recovery efforts from last week’s Typhoon Kalmaegi, which claimed at least 204 lives in Cebu province with 109 people still missing, and caused five additional fatalities in Vietnam.
