Some of the most terrifying and violent storm conditions that are possible on this planet are occurring right now on the Pacific island of Rota. At 180 MPH (290 kph) and with eyewall mesovortex gusts potentially as high as ~220 MPH (355 kph), Category 5 Super Typhoon Bavi is moments away from making landfall.

UPDATE: Hurricane Melissa has hit a new peak intensity 130 miles SW of Jamaica, with the Hurricane Hunters finding extremely powerful sustained winds of 150 MPH and a minimum core pressure of ~926 mbar. This is just 7 mph shy of Category 5 intensity.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku has now hit a new peak intensity. 180 MPH (290 kph) winds and an 896 MBAR pressure. She has, officially, joined the elite class of sub-900 MBAR Tropical Cyclones. The most intense kind of storm that can be produced by Earth’s oceans. Incredibly, no EWRC appears to be imminent, which means there is almost nothing to stop Sinlaku from getting even stronger. This is not good.

BREAKING: Ragasa (NandoPH) is now a violent, CATEGORY 5 Super Typhoon east of the Philippines, with roaring winds of 160 MPH (260 kph) and a core pressure of 922 MBAR. The storm’s strength has DOUBLED in just 24 hours. This is a very concerning situation for the islands of the Luzon Strait.

A disastrous scenario is unfolding in the Pacific today as the island of Rota is about to take a direct hit from Category 5 Super Typhoon #BAVI The estimated Winds on BAVI are sitting at an astounding 155 knots (around 180 mph), which is enough to completely devastate the island. We are witnessing an unbelievable Superstorm which is pushing the very limits of what nature will allow it to achieve. Praying for Guam and the island of Rota, which is about to see the worst of this deadly Super Typhoon.

After 75 hours straight, Bavi has finally fallen below Super Typhoon status. But the damage has already been done. At 180 MPH and 901 MBAR, she was the strongest Typhoon to make landfall in the Mariana Islands on record and the most intense storm to form in Earth’s Northern Hemisphere during the month of July since Typhoon Nepartak in 2016.

JUST IN: Pacific Typhoon Bavi has explosively intensified into a 160 MPH (260 kph) CATEGORY 5 Super Typhoon, with her core pressure dive-bombing by 61 mbar over the last 24 hours as she becomes consumed in a spherical tsunami of -110 F (-80 C) convection. At this time, she is heading straight for Guam and the Mariana Islands.

SUPER TYPHOON 🌀: Typhoon Sinlaku exploded into a super typhoon with winds reaching that of a Category 5 hurricane. The powerful storm is now passing northeast of Guam, sparing the island from direct impacts. But the Northern Mariana Islands, another U.S. Territory, and the islands of Saipan and Tinian are now seeing a direct hit. Stay with FOX Weather for the latest. #typhoon #guam #winds #flood

Category 5 Super Typhoon Bavi is about to be the strongest storm in Rota’s recorded history. Despite the formation of a clear outer eyewall, she is showing little signs of weakening. Her 901 MBAR, 23 mile-wide eye is drier and warmer than ever, reaching a torrid -10.8 C a few hours ago; and on radar, violent mesovortices are turbulently tearing through the 180 MPH eyewall, with radar velocities of ~140 MPH being observed in multiple quadrants.

Extremely dense Typhoon Dolphin has explosively intensified into a 145 MPH (235 kph), neutron star-like storm, with her core sustained winds increasing by a staggering 95 MPH in a single day. Her ~7 mile-wide, pinhole eye has seen a 55 MBAR pressure drop in the same timeframe. A 190 MPH (305 kph), Category 5 peak intensity over the West-Central Pacific Ocean is expected.

The Sakishima Islands of Japan and northern Taiwan are the next targets for an intensifying Super Typhoon Bavi. While she is expected to weaken down from her current 155 MPH (250 kph), Bavi is a monstrous storm that will be hesitant to lose energy too rapidly. Wherever her large and powerful eyewall ultimately makes landfall could be under a major risk for life-threatening storm surge and destructive winds on Friday. If you are in Taiwan or Ishigaki, begin preparations now for a potential direct strike from this massive Typhoon, and continue monitoring all updates on Bavi’s progress.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku is now a 175 MPH (280 kph), 902 MBAR CATEGORY 5 megastorm per the JTWC. She is officially the world’s most powerful cyclone of 2026. Her scorching eye has carved out one of the sharpest and cleanest Stadium Effects I can ever recall, and her CDO is a superchilled whirlpool of the scariest storm conditions imaginable. We are witnessing meteorological insanity.

For 15 days, she swam 3,800 miles (6,000 km) across the Pacific. Achieved a peak of 175 MPH (280 kph) and 909 MBAR. Made landfall over 4 islands in Japan. And became the easternmost-forming Typhoon to reach China on record. This is the complete lifespan of Super Typhoon Dolphin.

The ~2,000 people living on Rota just experienced a catastrophic whiteout of 180 MPH sustained winds as Super Typhoon Bavi’s western eyewall hit the island. Then, for an hour, everything suddenly went quiet. The winds dropped to zero and the sky turned bright from misty sunshine, as the island found itself near the center of Bavi’s 901 MBAR Stadium Effect. Now, Rota is reliving the ferocious eyewall all over again, this time in the eastern quadrant. Mass wind-induced deforestation is likely taking place.

🚨LANDFALL: The tiny volcanic island of Babuyan is now trapped at the bottom of the massive, ~905 MBAR stadium eye of Category 5 Super Typhoon Ragasa (NandoPH). Extremely violent winds of up to 180 MPH (290 kph) and gusts up to 200+ MPH (320 kph) have likely defoliated the island almost completely, potentially snapping trees off by the trunk and inundating coastal regions with heavy storm surge. Ragasa’s ferocious eyewall is now raking the nearby isles of Calayan and Camiguin.
