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.

Sinlaku bears down on U.S. Pacific outposts as emergency aid mobilizes

Super Typhoon Sinlaku is bearing down on remote U.S. Pacific territories such as Saipan and Guam, bringing heavy rain and strong winds as authorities brace for a direct hit. President Trump approved emergency declarations for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, and FEMA, along with EPA, DOT and the Army Corps of Engineers, is deploying nearly 100 staff to support emergency response and relief, with locals warned of long outages and port disruptions in the storm’s aftermath.

Pacific typhoon Sinlaku nears U.S. islands with ferocious winds

Super Typhoon Sinlaku intensified to 180 mph sustained winds (gusts to 220 mph), making it the strongest storm on Earth in 2026, as it bears down on the U.S.-held Northern Mariana Islands of Saipan, Rota and Tinian. Forecasters expect the eyewall to hit late Monday into Tuesday, with Guam under a tropical storm warning and flight cancellations continuing. The system could span about 400 miles, bringing 15–20 inches of rain on Guam and Rota (8–15 inches on Tinian/Saipan), plus dangerous surf, flash flooding and potential landslides; shelters opened and residents were urged to prepare for potentially catastrophic damage.
