Super Typhoon Sinlaku bears down on Northern Mariana Islands, Guam

Super Typhoon Sinlaku, the strongest storm of 2026 so far, is approaching the Northern Mariana Islands with powerful winds and heavy rain.

Although it may weaken slightly, it is still expected to bring dangerous conditions, including flooding and potential power outages.

Guam is likely to avoid a direct hit but will still experience strong winds, rough seas, and ongoing storm conditions.

The storm previously caused damage in parts of Micronesia before moving toward the region, Al-Jazeera has reported.

Meanwhile, nearby countries are also dealing with the aftermath of another deadly cyclone, highlighting the broader impact of severe weather in the Pacific.
