Severe Tropical Storm Verbena strengthened on November 26, 2025, as it moved westward over the West Philippine Sea, away from Palawan. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration reported maximum sustained winds of 95 kilometers per hour. While the storm no longer causes significant rainfall, the shear line continues to bring heavy rain to parts of Luzon.
More than 57,000 families, or 132,849 individuals, have been affected across various regions due to the combined effects of a low-pressure area (LPA), the northeast monsoon (amihan) and the shear line, according to the NDRRMC. This has led to flooding, damage to homes and disruptions in roads and ports. Assistance totaling P885,290 has been provided to those impacted.
