- Super Typhoon Champi has been classified as the strongest storm of 2026, churning across the Pacific with a massive eye visible, per coverage from the New York Times and Washington Post
- The storm is barreling toward Taiwan and mainland China after already slamming Guam, according to the Washington Post headline
Why it matters: Taiwan and mainland China now face the strongest storm of 2026, confirmed by rare cross-outlet agreement on its intensity. Champi's prior hit on Guam as it tracked westward signals a fully mature system, not a weakening one, as it approaches densely populated East Asian coastlines.
