Summary
One person observes how big waves break off the coast as Typhoon Bavi passes to north-east Taiwan, in Keelung, on July 11, 2026 (I-Hwa Cheng / AFP) afp - AFP Bavi is expected to touch land near Wenzhou, where about 10 million people live, early on Sunday. Bavi recorded 144 km / h maximum sustained winds, equivalent to category 1 of the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale, and was about 200 km south-east of Wenching, in eastern Zhejiang province, at 08: 08 GMT, according to the National Meteorological Centre. State media reported that more than 1.7 million people had been evacuated throughout Zhejiang province, where Wenzhou is located, and more than 100,000 in neighbouring Fujian province.
Furthermore, Although Japan and Taiwan have not so far reported any fatalities due to typhoon, 17 people died in the Philippines due to heavy rains caused by a southwestern monsoon intensified by Bavi. While Bavi continues to reduce its speed and to lose intensity in its path to the north-west over colder waters, typhoon remains a significant risk due to the huge volume of moisture it contains in its rainstrips, which cover an extension similar to that of France from end to end. China evokes more than a million people in the wake of the arrival of typhoon Bavi.
In addition, With an unparalleled network of journalists in 151 countries, AFP is also a world leader in digital verification. Classes, work, transport and outdoor activities were suspended, and more than 400 flights and dozens of trains were cancelled in the province.
