Super Typhoon Henry slightly intensifies;


Tropical Depression Gardo weakens into LPA

Super Typhoon Henry (Hinnamnor) strengthened a bit on Thursday morning, September 1, while
Tropical Depression Gardo weakened into a low-pressure area (LPA) at 8 am.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)


said in a bulletin issued at 11 am on Thursday that Henry’s maximum sustained winds are back to
195 kilometers per hour from the previous 185 km/h, while its gustiness increased to 240 km/h
from 230 km/h.

The super typhoon was last spotted 430 kilometers east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, moving
south southwest at 25 km/h While Henry will not make landfall in the Philippines, it will affect
extreme Northern Luzon.

PAGASA expected Heavy rainfalls in Batanes and Babuyan Island in the following Days, Henry may
also enhance the southwest monsoon or hanging habagat, which could trigger rain in the western part of
Luzon starting Friday, September 2. Meanwhile, tropical cyclone wind signals might be raised for
extreme Northern Luzon on Thursday “in anticipation of potential strong breeze to near gale conditions.”
PAGASA is not ruling out the declaration of Signal No. 2.
The weather bureau also issued a gale warning at 5 am on Thursday, covering the northern and eastern
seaboards of Northern Luzon, specifically Batanes, Cagayan, and the northern coast of Ilocos Norte.
In areas under the gale warning, seas are rough to very rough, with waves 2.8 to 5 meters high. PAGASA
advised small vessels not to sail and large vessels to watch out for big waves. Moderate to rough seas may
be seen in the eastern seaboard of Isabela on Thursday, too. Waves could be 1.2 to 4 meters high, making
conditions risky for small vessels. By Thursday evening or early Friday morning, Henry is projected to
become almost stationary. Then it may start slowly moving northwest on Friday afternoon, before
accelerating toward the north on Saturday, September 3. It could then leave the Philippine Area of
Responsibility (PAR) on Saturday evening or Sunday morning, September 4.
The LPA or remnant low that used to be Gardo was located 760 kilometers east northeast of Itbayat,
Batanes, on Thursday morning. Gardo had stayed far from Philippine landmass. The remnant low will
also have no direct effect on the country. PAGASA said the remnant low is likely to be fully absorbed by
Henry in the next 12 hours, or before Thursday ends.
