Typhoon Hinnamnor, the Northern Hemisphere’s strongest tropical cyclone of the year when it formed, was east of Taiwan on Saturday as it moved slowly north ahead of an expected landfall in South Korea early next week.

Hinnamnor was about 242 miles southeast of Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, on Saturday morning. It weakened over the past two days and was heading north toward Japan’s Okinawan archipelago with maximum sustained winds of about 89 miles per hour near its center, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
The storm was expected to intensify over the weekend as it passed near the archipelago, and to drop nearly six inches of rain in some parts of it by Saturday evening.

In the Philippines, where the storm is known as Henry, forecasters said that it would probably bring moderate to heavy rainfall in some areas on Saturday, along with possible flooding. A man who died on Thursday in a rain-induced landslide on Luzon, the country’s most populous island, was the first fatality linked to the storm, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
