Super Typhoon Goring (Saola) exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at 7:50 pm on Wednesday, August 30, while Severe Tropical Storm Hanna (Haikui) entered over an hour later at 9 pm.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Goring was already 265 kilometers west of Itbayat, Batanes, as of 10 pm on Wednesday.
The super typhoon continues to move west northwest outside PAR, but it slightly slowed down to 10 kilometers per hour from 15 km/h. It will be heading for the waters off Guangdong, China.

Goring also maintained its strength, with maximum sustained winds of 195 km/h and gustiness of up to 240 km/h. This has been its peak intensity, so far.
PAGASA expects Goring to eventually weaken into a typhoon on Thursday, August 31; a severe tropical storm on Saturday, September 2; and a tropical storm on Sunday, September 3.
Goring had developed from a low pressure area off Cagayan on August 24. It did not make landfall in the Philippines, but triggered torrential rain and fierce winds in parts of Northern Luzon.
With its exit, there are no more areas under tropical cyclone wind signals. Signal No. 5 was the highest wind signal raised.
But Goring’s outer rainbands may still bring moderate to heavy rain to Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, the western part of Pangasinan, Abra, and the western part of Apayao until Thursday. Floods and landslides remain possible.
Meanwhile, Hanna was located 1,335 kilometers east of extreme Northern Luzon as of 10 pm on Wednesday, moving northwest at 15 km/h.
The severe tropical storm slightly weakened again, with its maximum sustained winds down to 95 km/h from 100 km/h. Its gustiness eased further to 115 km/h from 125 km/h.
But PAGASA said Hanna may slowly intensify inside PAR and become a typhoon on Friday, September 1.
Aside from Goring and Hanna, PAGASA continues to monitor the impact of the enhanced southwest monsoon or habagat.
Goring will still enhance the southwest monsoon even if it is already outside PAR. At the same time, the southwest monsoon is also being slightly enhanced by Hanna.
The weather bureau warned that the western part of Luzon will have rain from the enhanced southwest monsoon in the next three days.
