July 6: Category 5 Super Typhoon Bavi has made landfall on Rota, bringing destructive winds, torrential rain, and dangerous conditions across the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam.
With winds reaching up to 346 km/h in gusts and heavy rainfall expected, authorities have warned residents to stay indoors or move to designated shelters. The storm has already caused power outages and raised concerns over flash floods and damage to infrastructure.
The region is still recovering from Super Typhoon Sinlaku, which struck earlier this year, making the latest storm an even greater challenge for affected communities. Emergency teams remain on alert as hazardous weather is expected to continue until the typhoon moves away.
