Summary
Typhoon Bavi intensified into a typhoon Friday morning Chamorro time in the North Pacific, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
The storm now poses a potential threat to parts of Asia and U.S. Pacific territories, where typhoons can bring destructive winds and storm surges.
Places most often scraped or struck include the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan, with the Korean Peninsula, China and Vietnam also vulnerable.
Guam remains a recent reminder of the risk after Typhoon Sinlaku battered the U.S. territory in April, causing part of the billions in damage such storms can inflict.
