Tropical Storm RAMIL (international name: Fengshen) is on the brink of exiting the Luzon landmass, with its center last estimated in the vicinity of Olongapo City, Zambales, as of the 2:00 PM weather bulletin today, October 19, 2025.

The storm maintains its strength, packing maximum sustained winds of $65\text{ km/h}$ near the center and gusts of up to $90\text{ km/h}$. Moving west-northwestward at $15\text{ km/h}$, RAMIL is expected to fully emerge over the West Philippine Sea later this afternoon or evening, but its extensive wind field, stretching up to $430\text{ km}$ outwards, continues to threaten large portions of Luzon.

Despite its imminent exit, a wide swath of Central and Southern Luzon remains under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 2, warning of gale-force winds with speeds ranging from $62$ to $88\text{ km/h}$ over the next 24 hours.

Areas under this heightened alert include most of Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Tarlac, Pampanga, Zambales, portions of Bataan, and the northern and central parts of Metro Manila, including Quezon City and Taguig City.

These winds pose a minor to moderate threat to life and property, necessitating continued vigilance and preparedness for possible structural damage, especially to unshielded or lightly-built structures.

Meanwhile, TCWS No. 1, indicating strong winds, is in effect for an even larger area, including the rest of Metro Manila, Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, and provinces as far north as Cagayan and as far south as Occidental and Oriental Mindoro, and Burias Island.

Authorities have also warned that the storm's trough and outer rainbands, coupled with the easterlies, will continue to bring strong to gale-force gusts to areas not under a wind signal, such as the Caluya Islands, Bicol Region, and Eastern Visayas, today.

Residents are strongly advised to refer to the latest severe weather advisories for information on expected heavy rainfall and associated risks like flooding and landslides.
