Philippines
Residents of Northern and Extreme Northern Luzon are urged to be weather-aware and typhoon-ready, and to monitor the system as needed.
This follows the development of Super Typhoon BAVI, expected to move very close to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands early on Monday morning, at 210 kph to 230 kph.
It will pass over Guam, Tinian, and Rota.
The Philippine Typhoon Forecasting Centre said BAVI will then enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Wednesday morning, at an estimated 200–220 kph.
There, it will be given the local name “INDAY.”
The Centre’s long-range model output shows the typhoon moving towards either Taiwan or the Southern Japanese Islands by Friday or Saturday next week, at 175 kph to 195 kph.
Japan
Japan’s annual rainy season, known as tsuyu or baiu, is well underway until mid-July.
Officials with the Japan Meteorological Agency said a frontal system on Sunday, brought 70 millimeters of rain to the town of Soeda and Fukuoka Prefecture.
About 58.5mm was measured in Matsuura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and another 53.5 in Hokuzan, Saga Prefecture.
The Agency also warned that the northern parts of the Kyushu region, will have extreme downpours of up to 150 millimeters of rain in just 24 hours, through to Monday.
Officials urged residents in northern Kyushu to stay alert for landslides as the ground has been loosened by the recent heavy rain.
Ghana
Ghana’s Interior Ministry confirmed the death of 12 people and 7 as missing, following last week’s floods.
