Tropical Depression Champi poses a threat to Guam in the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands this weekend. Its trajectory suggests that Taiwan and Japan could also be affected.
Current Position and Forecast
As of Thursday, satellite imagery shows Tropical Depression Champi located approximately 1,000 miles east of Guam. The images, provided by Ben Noll of The Washington Post and JMA/Himawari-9, indicate the storm’s significant presence in the Pacific.
Record Storm Activity
This year, storm occurrences in the Pacific have surged due to an unprecedented El Niño. Champi is expected to rapidly intensify over the coming days. By the start of next week, it may match the intensity of the strongest storms recorded globally this year.
