Latest international forecasts show Super Typhoon Bavi passing between Taiwan and Miyako Island

Super Typhoon Bavi is rapidly approaching, with forecasts indicating it will traverse the sea between Taiwan and Japan's Miyako Island. The National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) has compiled international weather agency predictions, all showing Bavi moving northwestward towards China.

Currently maintaining super typhoon strength, Bavi was located about 2,800 kilometers southeast of Taiwan's Eluanbi point early Tuesday. It is moving at 24 kilometers per hour on a west-northwest trajectory. Forecasters expect the typhoon to continue moving west along the southern edge of the Pacific high-pressure system, with a trend toward further intensification and an expanding wind field. Taiwan's weather could begin to feel its influence as early as Friday.

Several international models show Bavi passing between Miyako Island and Taiwan. Notably, predictions from the Japan Meteorological Agency and the China Meteorological Administration suggest a more westward path, bringing the typhoon closer to Taiwan as it moves between Ishigaki Island and Taiwan.

The NCDR's compilation highlights the general consensus among weather agencies regarding Bavi's projected path. While the exact trajectory may vary slightly, the core forecast indicates a significant weather system moving through the region, prompting close monitoring of its development and potential impact on Taiwan and surrounding areas.
