France-sized Bavi Downgrades to Tropical Storm After Lashing Eastern China

Tropical Storm Bavi, downgraded from a typhoon after making landfall in Zhejiang, China, prompted evacuations of nearly two million people and brought heavy rain and winds around 101 km/h. The storm felled trees, flooded streets, and disrupted transport across Zhejiang and Shanghai, with Hangzhou rail services suspended and hundreds of flights cancelled. By Sunday it had moved into Anhui and is forecast to head toward the Yellow Sea, bringing more rain to eastern and northern China in coming days.

Bavi pounds Guam region with 150 mph winds at landfall

Super Typhoon Bavi made landfall near Guam, delivering winds over 150 mph to the Northern Mariana Islands and prompting warnings of heavy rain (up to about 20 inches) and tropical-storm conditions through Monday night. Saipan airport logged gusts over 100 mph, power outages persisted, and residents were urged to shelter in interior rooms and stay away from windows as the storm moved west toward the Philippines.

Bavi Reaches Cat 5, Aims at Saipan and Tinian as 2026's Third Major Typhoon

Typhoon Bavi rapidly intensified into 2026’s third Category 5 storm, reaching about 160 mph and threatening the U.S. Northern Mariana Islands (Tinian and Saipan) with catastrophic winds; JTWC forecast a peak near 175 mph before an eyewall replacement cycle may weaken it, with landfall near the Marianas possible this weekend. After passing the islands, Bavi is expected to move west-northwest toward Taiwan or China by July 10–11. The event occurs in a warming-El Niño–driven regime that has seen more Cat 4–5 tropical cyclones globally.

Bavi intensifies toward super typhoon status, threatening Saipan and Guam

Typhoon Bavi is rapidly intensifying east of Guam and is forecast to become a Category 4–5 super typhoon this weekend, bringing damaging winds, torrential rainfall (up to 4–5 inches per hour), and dangerous surf to Guam and the U.S. Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan, Tinian, Rota) as early as Sunday; watches could be issued by Friday and preparations urged by Sunday morning, with the core staying near but south of Saipan. This would mark another major Pacific storm affecting the islands after Sinlaku earlier in 2026.
