Super Typhoon Bavi rapidly intensifies to a Category 5 storm east of Guam
Himawari-9 Infrared Window images with an overlay of contours and streamlines of deep-layer wind shear at 1800 UTC on 03 July
Super Typhoon Bavi rapidly intensified to a Category 5 tropical cyclone east of Guam on 03 July 2026 (ADT | SATCON). Bavi was moving through an environment characterized by low values of deep-layer wind shear (above), as it was traversing progressively warmer water (Sea Surface Temperature | Ocean Heat Content).
Himawari-9 Visible and Infrared images (below) provided a post-sunrise view of Bavi.
