Overnight, Hinnamnor cleared a small eye along with a well-defined CDO, and intensified into a high-end Category 4-equivalent super typhoon.
An increasingly hostile environment caused it to lose its convective features the night of September 1, weakening it down to a Category 1-equivalent typhoon.
Beginning to weaken for the final time on September 5, the storm made landfall late that day as a Category 2-equivalent typhoon and began extratropical transition.
Heavy rainfall affected northern districts in Taiwan, and a man died in the Philippines due to Hinnamnor's flooding.
Hinnamnor made landfall just southeast of Geoje in South Korea, knocking out power for tens of thousands of homes.

[6][7] At around 00:00 UTC on August 28, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA)[nb 3] began monitoring a tropical depression that had developed in the Philippine Sea.
[10][11] A central dense overcast feature and prominent spiral banding, noting its obscure low-level circulation center.

[19] Overnight, Hinnamnor cleared out a small, round eye, and strengthened into a high-end category 4-equivalent super typhoon.
[23] As it headed towards the Ryukyu Islands, Hinnamnor proceeded to reorganize on satellite with an intense CDO forming along with a larger eye.
[24] It re-intensified back to a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon on September 1,[25] and, at the same time, Tropical Depression 13W (Gardo) embedded into the wind field with Hinnamnor.
[26] Hinnamnor weakened to Category 4-equivalent super typhoon by 09:00 UTC due to elongation of the convective core and cooler sea surface temperatures.
[29] At 09:00 UTC, Hinnamnor further weakened into a Category 1-equivalent typhoon as it finally began to move north-northwest into the East China Sea.
[34] Multispectral animated satellite imagery revealed a 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) surrounded eye around a spiral banding.
[39] At 03:00 UTC the next day, the JTWC issued their final warning on the system as it began its transition into an extratropical cyclone, with its frontal structure.
[43][44] An official at the JMA called for "strict vigilance" against Hinnamnor, and recommended those move to sturdy buildings and shelters as the typhoon approached.
