Typhoon Uwan weakened into a low-pressure area Thursday morning while traversing the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), the state weather bureau said.
In its 10 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Uwan was last located 405 kilometers north-northeast of Itbayat, Batanes.
Uwan was moving north-northwestward at 25 kilometers per hour and was expected to dissipate within the next 24 hours, Pagasa added.
Pagasa first monitored Uwan outside PAR on November 3, when it was a tropical depression. Uwan became a tropical storm on November 6 and a severe tropical storm on November 7.
It intensified into a typhoon on the evening of November 7 before entering PAR early in the morning of November 8.
Uwan began bringing rain to the country, particularly in the Bicol Region, on the evening of that day before further developing into a super typhoon early on November 9.
In less than two days, while parts of the country were still recovering from the effects of Typhoon Tino, Uwan crossed the Philippine landmass as a typhoon after making landfall in Aurora.
Based on the Thursday morning report of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), Uwan has affected more than 4.6 million individuals in its path.
According to the NDRRMC and the Office of Civil Defense, the affected population was spread across 16 regions, and the impacts of Uwan have led to the deaths of at least 27 individuals as of Wednesday morning.
