At the time of the bulletin, PAGASA estimated that the storm’s centre was 1,410 kilometres east-northeast of the northern tip of Luzon. Sustained winds near the centre reached an estimated 130 km/h, with gusts up to 160 km/h. The bureau said direct effects on weather in the Philippines were unlikely. [evidence-1]

A gale warning still covered the northern and western coasts of Northern Luzon. PAGASA’s 24-hour outlook forecast waves of up to 5.5 metres off the north coast of Batanes. The bureau advised vessels in areas with very rough seas to stay in port or seek shelter if already at sea. [evidence-1]
