Typhoon Bavi approaches China's east coast after lashing Japan and Taiwan
Typhoon Bavi, which brought heavy rain and strong winds to Japan's southern islands and skirted Taiwan, is weakening as it heads toward China's east coast, where landfall is expected on Sunday.
Typhoon Bavi has lashed Japan's southern islands with heavy rain and powerful winds before moving toward China's east coast. The storm also grazed Taiwan, causing rough seas, downed trees and localized damage. In the Taiwanese city of Keelung, residents ventured out to markets as Bavi weakened while tracking westward. The typhoon is expected to make landfall on China's mainland on Sunday, July 12. Authorities in China have begun preparations for potential flooding and wind damage, urging residents to stay cautious. Bavi is the first major typhoon of the season to hit the region. Although it has weakened, it still poses a threat to coastal areas with heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Meteorological agencies are monitoring its path closely.
