After turning west-northwest in the general direction of the central Philippines, Mike leveled off in intensity. Land interaction took toll on the typhoon on November 12 as cloud top temperatures surrounding the eye warmed and the eye became increasingly cloud-filled, coinciding with a weakening trend. Later that day, the typhoon made landfall on the Cebu province, with the JTWC and JMA reporting winds of and respectively. The system maintained typhoon intensity over the island chain. After Mike entered the South China Sea, the JTWC and many tropical cyclone forecast models anticipated that the typhoon would strike into Vietnam, but this did not occur. Slight re-strengthening occurred over the open waters in the South China Sea. On November 14, the JMA reported that Mike reached a secondary peak intensity of while the JTWC estimated a secondary maximum intensity of . The next day, Typhoon Mike turned north-northwest in response to a weakness in the subtropical ridge. Increased vertical wind shear induced a weakening trend, and midday on November 15, the JMA downgraded Mike to a severe tropical storm. Twenty-four hours later, the JTWC downgraded Mike to a tropical storm as its structure became less organized. Later on November 16, Mike passed over the western portion of Hainan Island, and after briefly tracking through the Gulf of Tonkin, Mike moved inland over Quảng Ninh, Vietnam as a tropical depression. Overland, Mike rapidly dissipated; both the JTWC and the JMA ceased tracking the system on November 18.
