Typhoon Bavi made landfall in China's eastern province of Zhejiang late on Saturday night, July 11, 2026, according to China's national weather center. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rain, prompting the evacuation of over 1.5 million residents from coastal areas.
Prior to reaching China, Bavi had already impacted Japan's southern islands, including Okinawa, where it caused power outages and minor flooding. The typhoon weakened as it moved inland, with authorities warning of potential landslides and flash floods in mountainous regions.
Chinese emergency services deployed rescue teams and relief supplies to affected areas. No casualties have been reported as of July 12, 2026, due to the large-scale evacuations. The storm is expected to dissipate over the next 24 hours.
