Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 1 has been raised over the following areas because of Tropical Depression Henry:

• Batanes
• Northern portion of Cagayan, including Babuyan Group of Islands
• Northern portion of Apayao
• Northern portion of Ilocos Norte

"Henry" entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility as a low-pressure area on Sunday. PAGASA said then that it would have no direct effect on the country nor was it expected to make landfall..  

Super typhoon Henry slightly intensifies as it moves south southwestward northeast of Batanes, state weather bureau PAGASA says in its 11 a.m. bulletin.

‘Henry’ is last located at 430 km east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of 195 kph near center.

PAGASA reiterates that the super typhoon is expected to enhance the southwest monsoon or habagat which may bring rains over the western section of Luzon starting Friday.

Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals may also be hoisted over areas in the extreme northern Luzon within Thursday. “The potential for hoisting a Wind Signal No. 2 is also not ruled out,” PAGASA adds.

“Henry” has strengthened into a tropical storm and is now outside the Philippine area of responsibility, state weather bureau, PAGASA says.

PAGASA has lifted all tropical cyclone warning signals as “Henry” leaves the Philippine territory Tuesday morning.

State weather bureau PAGASA lifts Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal number 1 over Batanes and the northern parts of Cagayan and Apayao Tuesday morning as Tropical Depression Henry continues to move westward.

Only the Babuyan Group of Islands and northern portion of Ilocos Norte are under Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal number 1.

"Henry" was last seen 230 km west of Calayan, Cagayan.
