MANILA, Philippines – Nimfa intensified from a tropical storm into a severe tropical storm at 2 pm on Friday, September 20, less than a day before its expected exit from the Philippine Area of Responsibility . In a bulletin issued 5 pm on Friday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration said Severe Tropical Storm Nimfa is already 630 kilometers east northeast of Basco, Batanes, almost stationary or hardly moving.

It now has maximum winds of 95 kilometers per hour from the previous 75 km/h and gustiness of up to 115 km/h from the previous 90 km/h. PAGASA said it is likely to strengthen further. Nimfa is not expected to make landfall in the country, and there are no areas under tropical cyclone wind signals. But its trough or extension earlier brought rain to some areas.
