Super Typhoon Bavi is currently threatening U.S. territories in the Pacific, particularly Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. As of July 6, 2026, the storm is generating sustained winds of approximately 259 kilometers per hour (161 mph), with gusts reported to reach up to 314 kilometers per hour (195 mph). It is categorized as a Category 5 storm, similar in intensity to some of the strongest hurricanes recorded.
Authorities in the region have implemented emergency measures, including island-wide evacuations and preparation efforts on Guam, where residents are stocking up on supplies and securing their homes against the impending impact. Reports indicate that Guam is experiencing severe weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and strong winds, prior to the storm making landfall.
As the storm approaches, significant disruptions are occurring, including power outages and extensive precautionary measures taken by residents and local officials. Rough seas and high waves, projected to be nearly 11 meters (approximately 36 feet), are expected to cause additional challenges for the affected islands. Emergency response plans are in place as the communities brace for the full force of Typhoon Bavi.
