Typhoon intensity level 17 (highest wind level on the Beaufort wind scale), gusts above level 17. Currently, the super typhoon is over 20,000 km east of the Central Philippines.

However, with super strong intensity, super typhoon Bavi may also impact the northeastern sea area of the northern part of the East Sea in the periods from November 9-11. 7.
Due to the wind-absorbing effect of the super typhoon, southwest winds in the central and southern areas of the East Sea (including the Truong Sa special zone sea area) from July 9 also tend to strengthen. Southwest wind intensity on July 9-11 in the north, central and southern areas of the East Sea (including the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa special zone sea areas) can be strong up to level 6-7, sea waves are 3-5m high, and the sea is very rough.
The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting is still closely monitoring the developments of Super Typhoon Bavi.
