- Super Typhoon Champi has become the strongest tropical cyclone of 2026, churning over the Pacific and barreling toward Taiwan and mainland China, according to both the South China Morning Post and the New York Times.
- Signal No. 2 remains in effect over Batanes in the Philippines as the storm advances, the latest reported alert level for the region.
Why it matters: With three major outlets independently tagging Champi as 2026's strongest storm so far, the converged framing means Taiwan and mainland China now face the season's most powerful cyclone threat to date, while the Philippines' northern Batanes island chain remains under active typhoon signal.
