5 a.m., Sept. 2
PAGASA estimated the location of Henry (international name: Hinnamnor) at 395 kilometers east-northeast of Basco, Batanes. It was almost stationary over the Philippine Sea.
From a super typhoon, PAGASA downgraded Henry into a typhoon.
However, it remained a strong cyclone, packing maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 215 kph.

Despite the further deceleration, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) no. 1 remained hoisted over Batanes and the northeastern portion of Babuyan Islands.
Residents of these areas were advised to be vigilant against the hazards that the weather disturbance may bring including moderate to heavy rain showers, isolated to scattered flooding, and rain-induced landslides.
5 p.m., Sept. 1
Super typhoon Henry has weakened slightly as it begins to decelerate south-southwestward over the Philippine sea.
The eye of the weather disturbance was last spotted 400 kilometers (km) east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes with maximum sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 230 kph. It is moving south-southwestward at 15 kph.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal no. 1 was hoisted over Batanes and the northeastern portion of Babuyan Islands. Residents of these areas were warned against potential “minimal to life threatening” hazards that the cyclone’s winds may bring.
11 a.m., Sept. 1
Tropical depression Gardo has weakened into a low pressure area (LPA). It was last spotted 760 kilometers (km) east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes and is forecast to be “fully assimilated” within the circulation of Super typhoon Henry in the next 12 hours.
Henry, which was last spotted 430 km east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, slightly intensified while moving south southwestward at 25 kph. It has maximum sustained winds of 195 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 240 kph.
The state weather bureau disclosed that tropical cyclone wind signal (TCWS) may be raised for localities in extreme northern Luzon within 24 hours. It is also not ruling out the possibility of raising Signal no. 2.
5 a.m., Sept. 1
Tropical depression Gardo may weaken into a low pressure area (LPA) within the next 12 hours or “sooner.” It is expected to merge with the larger circulation of Super typhoon Henry.
Gardo was last spotted 885 kilometers (km) east northeast of extreme Northern Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 70 kph. It is moving northwestward at 45 kph.
Super typhoon Henry, on the other hand, maintained its strength as it moves southwestward over the Philippine sea. The eye of this weather disturbance was last spotted 530 km east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, packing maximum winds of 185 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 230 kph.
Due to Henry, light to moderate with at times heavy rains may be experienced in Batanes in the next 24 hours. PAGASA added that it may enhance the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, which is expected to drench western Luzon beginning Friday, Sept. 2.
Henry is expected to exit the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Saturday evening, Sept. 3 or Sunday morning, Sept. 4.
11 p.m., Aug. 31
Super typhoon Henry (international name: Hinnamnor) has slightly weakened, PAGASA said. It now has maximum sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 230 kph.
Henry was at 690 kilometers (km) northeast of Itbayat, Batanes at around 10 p.m.
Meanwhile, PAGASA said tropical depression Gardo may degenerate into a remnant low in the next 12 hours, before it eventually gets absorbed by Henry’s circulation.
Gardo was last spotted 1,040 km east-northeast of extreme Northern Luzon, maintaining its maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
5:30 p.m., Aug. 31
Super typhoon Hinnamnor has entered the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) and was given its domestic name “Henry,” said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
The super typhoon is packing maximum sustained winds of 195 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 240 kph.
Meanwhile, PAGASA senior weather specialist Raymond Ordinario said tropical depression Gardo now has a greater chance of weakening and becoming a low pressure area within the next 12 hours.
Gardo was last spotted 1,080 km east of extreme Northern Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 55 kph and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
Ordinario added that the remnant of the tropical depression will be absorbed by Henry’s circulation in the next few hours.
11 a.m., Aug. 31
PAGASA said super typhoon Hinnamnor was last spotted 980 kilometers (km) northeast of the extreme Northern Luzon. It has maintained its maximum sustained winds of 195 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 240 kph.
Meanwhile, tropical depression Gardo was estimated at 1,065 km east of extreme northern Luzon, with maximum sustained winds of 55 kph and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
According to PAGASA, Gardo will likely degenerate into a remnant low as early as this afternoon or evening, as it gets absorbed by Hinnamnor.
5 a.m., Aug. 31
PAGASA estimated the location of super typhoon Hinnamnor at 1,170 kilometers (km) east-northeast of extreme Northern Luzon, while tropical depression Gardo was located 1,130 km east of extreme Northern Luzon.
Gardo is still expected to weaken and get absorbed by Hinnamnor.
11 p.m., Aug. 30
Super typhoon Hinnamnor was estimated at 1,305 kilometers (km) east-northeast of extreme northern Luzon, packing maximum sustained winds of 195 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 240 kph.
Meanwhile, tropical depression Gardo was estimated at 1,125 km east of extreme northern Luzon, with maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
PAGASA said Gardo may degenerate into a remnant low by Wednesday afternoon or evening (Aug. 31), as Hinnamnor begins to absorb its circulation.
5 p.m., Aug. 30
PAGASA estimated the location of Gardo at 1,185 kilometers (km) east of extreme northern Luzon, while Hinnamnor was spotted 1,485 km east-northeast of extreme northern Luzon.
Gardo has maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kph, while Hinnamnor was packing maximum sustained winds of 185 kph and gustiness of up to 230 kph.
It is expected that an interaction between the two cyclones will occur within the next few days.
Gardo may degenerate into a remnant low by Thursday afternoon, Sept. 1, as Hinnamnor “begins to assimilate” its circulation, according to PAGASA.
2 p.m., Aug. 30
PAGASA said the low pressure area (LPA) east of extreme northern Luzon has developed into a tropical depression and was named “Gardo.”
Meanwhile, typhoon Hinnamnor has intensified into a super typhoon. This weather disturbance will likely enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Wednesday evening, Aug. 31.
Once inside the PAR, the domestic name “Henry” will be given to Hinnamnor.
