Typhoon Gaemi, with sustained wind speeds of 109 miles per hour, was located in the Philippine Sea on Wednesday according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The typhoon, which would be classified as a Category 2 hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, poses a threat to areas like the Philippines, Japan, and Taiwan. Typhoon season is active from early July to mid-December, with typhoons causing significant damage with their strong winds and storm surges. U.S. territories have also been impacted by typhoons, with Super Typhoon Mawar causing billions of dollars in damage to Guam in May of the previous year. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center provides tracking maps and advisories to help monitor and prepare for typhoons. Typhoon Gaemi serves as a reminder of the ongoing threat of typhoons to vulnerable regions in the Pacific.
