Go to the morning of August 18th, as the system moved into the S Sea NE section, its Moving speed slightly accelerated, the path pointing toward turning to a more pure W line. Observed from the coordinate sequence, August 18th, 11th to 19th, 07th, the Typhoon center latitude from 20.5°N rapidly increased to 22.1°N, the length from 116.4°EW to 113.2°E, showing a clear NW toward Moving scale. Finally, the system at August 19th, 06th at the Guangdong Zhuhai City Gold Bay Area coastal Landfall, then continued toward NW direction deeper inland, until August 19th, 20th in the territory of Guangxi weakened into nameless and ended.

Higos' Intensity evolution has a marked feature of 'pre-stagnation, late eruption.' After the Nameless phase of approximately 40 hours, the system at August 18 at 11 am increased to Tropical Storm, and rapidly increased within 12 hours. From August 18 at 19 am Severe Tropical Storm (30m/s, 980hPa) to 23 am Typhoon level (35m/s, 970hPa) at only 4 hours at peak intensity. Since then, from August 18 at 23 to August 1907, Typhoonined a peak of approximately 8 hours, Pressure stable at 970hPa, max windined at 35m/s, until Landfall stillined Typhoon level Intensity for a moment, showing that Landfall pre-Intensity was stronger.
