Typhoon Bavi, with maximum sustained winds of 144 km/h, prompted the evacuation of over 1.8 million people in eastern China as it approached Wenzhou, expected to make landfall on July 12, 2026. The typhoon has already caused significant disruptions in Taiwan, where authorities evacuated over 14,000 residents and canceled hundreds of flights. Heavy rains and strong winds have led to at least 17 fatalities in the Philippines due to landslides exacerbated by Bavi. In Taiwan, 87 injuries were reported, primarily from falls and accidents related to the storm. The storm's size and moisture content pose ongoing risks, with forecasts predicting up to 1 meter of rain in some areas. Emergency measures have been enacted, including the suspension of ferry services and the deployment of thousands of rescue workers in affected regions. Bavi's impact is compounded by previous severe weather events in the region, raising concerns about flooding and infrastructure damage.
