Recurving to the northeast, Faye continued weakening due to strong wind shear, with dissipation as a tropical cyclone occurring on the afternoon of August 27.

Faye intensified slightly, nearly attaining typhoon intensity on August 29, but this trend was short-lived due to increased wind shear.

By August 31, a building ridge to Faye's north led to a southwest motion as the system steadily weakened.

However, Faye managed to maintain its identity as a weak tropical cyclone for several days, before finally dissipating on September 3.

Typhoon Faye originated from a westward-moving weak area of disturbed weather located within the Philippine Sea in the middle of August.

The disturbance was poorly organized and the atmospheric circulation was exposed from the deep convection despite being located near an anticyclone, which tends to favor tropical cyclogenesis.

[3][nb 3] Later that day, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) also started monitoring the storm, assigning it with the local name Norming.

Instead, the typhoon turned north as the ridge over southern China weakened, and a trough was noted between Ellis and Faye.

[3] Due to a combination of land interaction and strong wind shear from Typhoon Ellis, Faye became less organized.

[3] By August 27, Faye began to turn east despite the JTWC forecasting the storm to continue northeast and pass west of Japan.

[1] At 0900 UTC, the JTWC upgraded Faye back to a typhoon, just a mere 27 hours after the agency discontinued watching the system for the first time.

Subsequently, Faye began to gradually weaken due to increased wind shear caused by a trough, which resulted in all of the deep convection to become displaced from the center.

[1] On the morning of September 3, the JMA stopped watching Faye;[3] the JTWC followed suit around this time as the surface circulation had dissipated within the Sea of Japan.

The remnants of the system became absorbed into the monsoon trough, which eventually spawned Typhoon Hope off the west coast of China.

[7] The typhoon brought heavy rainfall to Luzon, resulting in overflowing rivers, which in turn flooded low-lying areas.

[9] When the typhoon veered toward the island nation for the second time, school classes were briefly halted and six flights of the Philippine Airlines were called off.

[10] In the La Union, Pangasinan, and Iloilo provinces, 1,286 residences were destroyed, sending 7,608 people to seek shelter in churches, schools and town halls.
