Powerful Super Typhoon Bavi is moving towards Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands in the US Pacific region. Fears are growing among local residents about the potential impact of the hurricane. Given the situation, residents of the area are strengthening the security of their homes and preparing for emergencies.
The Hindu reported this in a report on Friday (July 3). According to the report, according to the latest forecast from the US National Weather Service, the situation in the Mariana Islands is becoming increasingly alarming. All residents of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are advised to prepare for at least tropical storm conditions. That is, even if the hurricane does not make a direct impact, its impact is expected to be severe.
According to the latest data, Typhoon Bavi was located between the Marshall Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. The US Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) said the storm had winds of 167 kilometers per hour and gusts of 203 kilometers per hour. It is this speed that makes the storm extremely dangerous.
Bavi’s westward movement could soon become a super typhoon, according to the JTWC forecast. At this time, its maximum wind speed can reach 240 kilometers per hour. It is expected to increase to 278 km/h in the next 24 hours. According to meteorologists, a storm of such strength is equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane, which could cause serious damage.
Particular attention is paid to the possible development of the storm. Bavi is expected to hit Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands on Monday morning (July 6), although it has weakened somewhat, the forecast said. As a result, there is a risk of power outages, uprooting of trees, flooding of coastal areas and disruption of communications for residents of the region.
The local administration has already started taking precautionary measures. Residents were asked to strengthen windows and doors, stock up on food and water in case of emergency, charge mobile phones and batteries, and prepare to evacuate to safe shelters if necessary. People, especially in coastal and low-lying areas, were told to be more careful.
The agency also said tropical cyclones with wind speeds of 240 kilometers per hour or more in the western North Pacific are called “super typhoons.” This type of storm is much stronger than a normal typhoon and its consequences are also dire. Therefore, early warning and preparation for hurricanes like Bavi are very important.
According to meteorologists, the number and intensity of severe cyclones in the Pacific region is increasing due to climate change. As a result, in the event of such storms, there is a need not only for immediate warning, but also for long-term disaster preparedness. How prepared the local infrastructure, shelters and emergency services are is now also a big question.
Overall, Super Typhoon Bavi now poses a serious threat to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. The strength of the storm that will eventually hit is still unknown, but without advance warning and preparation, experts believe the situation will be difficult to control.
