Gardo to weaken and be absorbed by Super Typhoon Henry
MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Depression Gardo may weaken within the next 12 hours as it is expected to assimilate into Super Typhoon Hinnamnor, locally known as Henry, according to a Wednesday bulletin of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
Gardo “will degenerate into a remnant low within 12 hours as ‘Henry’ begins to assimilate its circulation,” Pagasa said.
Gardo was last spotted 1,040 kilometers east-northeast of extreme northern Luzon. It has maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center and a gustiness of 70 kilometers per hour.
Super Typhoon Henry was last located 70 kilometers northeast of extreme northern Luzon.
It’s “unlikely” to directly affect the weather in the country within the forecast period.
Even if neither of the two disturbances is expected to make landfall, their combined effects may enhance the southwest monsoon, or habagat.
Pagasa did not raise any tropical cyclone wind signals.
