Countries: Guam, Japan, Northern Mariana Islands (The United States of America) Source: Pacific Disaster Center Please refer to the attached file. Description A tropical cyclone forecast has been issued by Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) on July 06, 2026 03: 00: 00 UTC. Super Typhoon Bavi, currently equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson scale), is located in the NW Pacific Ocean with maximum sustained winds of 278 km/h (173 mph), and wind gusts up to 333 km/h (207 mph). According to this forecast (#21), the cyclone is headed west-northwest at about 20 km/h (13 mph), and is expected to weaken over the next 24 hours. It is cautioned, however, that the storm’s actual position may shift significantly over the next few days. Based on the current forecast (the storm’s center and path), Super Typhoon Bavi is not expected to cross-over a major land-mass within the next 48-72 hours (although it may impact smaller islands along the way). For the extended forecast, an estimated 799, 000 people, 297, 000 households, and $69. 4 Billion (USD) of infrastructure* are potentially exposed to moderate to severe damaging winds (with damage expected closer to the shores). All shorelines in the path of the storm are exposed to potential storm surge, and inland areas within the proximity of the storm are exposed to potential flooding. Additional updates will be provided as they become available by official sources. *The cost represents the total replacement value of the infrastructure.
