Severe Tropical storm Fung Wong intensified over the Philippines Sea on November 7, 2025, and is forecast to make landfall over the Philippines over the weekend.

The Philippine government declared a state of calamity on November 6, 2025, after Typhoon Kalmaegi left 114 people dead, 127 missing, and displaced more than 560 000 residents while flooding parts of the Visayas, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).

At least 66 deaths have been confirmed, while 26 remain missing since Typhoon Kalmaegi (locally named Tino) made landfall over the Philippines on November 4, 2025. Nearly 390 000 people have been evacuated as recovery operations continue across the country.

The Philippine Air Force has completed the retrieval of six crew members killed in a Super Huey helicopter crash on November 4, 2025, in Agusan del Sur while conducting disaster-response operations after Typhoon Tino.

Up to five fatalities have been reported since Typhoon Kalmaegi’s landfall over the Southern Leyte province in the Philippines on November 4, 2025. Landfall in Vietnam is expected on Thursday, November 6.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has issued a lahar advisory for Kanlaon Volcano on Negros Island, warning that heavy to intense rainfall from Severe Tropical Storm Tino (#TinoPH) may generate volcanic sediment flows on the volcano’s southern and western slopes while Alert Level 2 remains in effect.

Severe Tropical Storm Kalmaegi (locally named Tino) is rapidly intensifying over the Philippine Sea and is expected to reach typhoon strength prior to landfall in the central Philippines by November 3–4, 2025.

Four short-lived eruptions were recorded at the northeastern portion of the Taal Main Crater between October 25 and 26, 2025, producing dense plumes 1 200–2 100 m (3 900–6 900 feet) high and minor ashfall over nearby barangays in Laurel and Agoncillo, Batangas Province. PHIVOLCS classified the events as minor phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions, with associated shockwaves and localized pyroclastic density currents, but maintained Alert Level 1 (low-level unrest) over the volcano.

Tropical Storm Fengshen (locally named Ramil in the Philippines) crossed Luzon on October 18 and 19, 2025, producing torrential rain, flooding, and landslides. At least five people were killed in Quezon Province, while two others remain missing in Bukidnon after a landslide.
