It further strengthened, peaking with 1-minute sustained winds of and with a minimum central pressure of 920 hPa (mbar; 27.17 inHg) on the next day, May 27. Afterwards, the violent super typhoon began to weaken, possibly due to the eyewall replacement cycle; however, it continued to weaken as it passed to the east of Taiwan, before exiting the PAR on May 28, shortly before striking the southern tip of Japan on May 29. It soon became extratropical, with the JMA and JTWC issuing their final advisories on the same day. The extratropical remnants of Songda were last noted on June 4, as it was absorbed by another extratropical cyclone to the south of Alaska.
