In a new Tropical Cyclone Bulletin number two issued at 5:00 PM on November 9, 2026, PAGASA provided updated details on Typhoon Samuel.
According to PAGASA, the center of the eye of Typhoon Samuel at 4:00 PM was estimated based on all available data at 1,415 kilometers east-northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon (outside PAR).
It said that while the typhoon was moving east-northeastward at 10 km/h, the typhoon had maximum sustained winds of 130 kilometers per hour (km/h) near the center and gusts reaching up to 160 km/h, with a central pressure of 975 hPa (hectopascal).
However, PAGASA noted that the typhoon is less likely to directly affect the weather conditions of the Philippines throughout the forecast period.
The state weather bureau is also forecasting that the typhoon may continue intensifying and may reach its peak intensity around nighttime of November 9, 2026, or early morning of November 10, 2026. Afterward, it will enter a weakening trend due to unfavorable atmospheric conditions.
In a previous bulletin, the typhoon was projected to possibly exit during the nighttime of November 9, 2026, or early morning of November 10, 2026.

Meanwhile, PAGASA said that the northeast monsoon or amihan will bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas:
For November 9, 2026: most of Luzon and Visayas, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Zamboanga del Norte, Davao Oriental, Davao Occidental, and Sarangani.
From November 10, 2026 until November 11, 2026, the same areas are expected to be affected by strong gale-force gusts.
