MANILA, Philippines – Typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi) made its sixth landfall in Palawan’s Cuyo Islands at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, November 4, specifically in the municipality of Magsaysay.

As of 10 pm, Tino was already over the coastal waters of Araceli, Palawan, moving west at 25 kilometers per hour (km/h).

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in a briefing past 11 pm that Tino could make another landfall in the northern portion of Palawan by early Wednesday morning, November 5, before emerging over the West Philippine Sea.

The typhoon slightly weakened on Tuesday evening, with its maximum sustained winds easing from 130 km/h to 120 km/h. Its gustiness is now up to 165 km/h from 180 km/h.

But PAGASA said Tino is likely to re-intensify in the coming days, “and may reach its peak intensity while over the West Philippine Sea.”

This has been Tino’s path, so far:

Monday, November 3

Tuesday, November 4

• first landfall in Silago, Southern Leyte (12 am)
• moved over Leyte
• passed close to Cebu’s Camotes Islands
• second landfall in Borbon, Cebu (5:10 am)

Tino — the Philippines’ 20th tropical cyclone for 2025, and the first for November — may leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning, November 6.

But another tropical cyclone could enter PAR just a couple of days after Tino’s exit.

PAGASA is monitoring a tropical depression that formed outside PAR on Tuesday, last spotted 1,690 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao as of 10 pm. It is moving west southwest at 20 km/h, still with maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h and gustiness of up to 70 km/h.

The tropical depression could enter PAR as a typhoon on Friday evening, November 7, or Saturday, November 8, and would be given the local name Uwan.

Inside PAR, it may intensify further into a super typhoon.

PAGASA reiterated that the possibility of the future Uwan making landfall is “becoming more likely,” but “the exact landfall location and time remain highly uncertain, considering that the forecast is more than five days ahead.” Updates will be given in succeeding advisories.

The weather bureau expects two or three tropical cyclones to form within or enter PAR during November. – Rappler.com
