Typhoon Inday, known internationally as Bavi, continued to affect parts of Northern Luzon as of July 10, 2026. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported that Wind Signal No. 2 remained active over Batanes and two other regions, indicating wind speeds ranging from 62 to 88 km/h with a 'minor to moderate threat' to life and property. Meanwhile, Wind Signal No. 1 was issued over additional areas in Northern Luzon, indicating lower wind speeds and minimal risk. Pagasa predicted that Inday would move northwestward across the Philippine Sea, potentially passing near Extreme Northern Luzon before heading toward Japan and possibly making landfall on the eastern coast of mainland China by late Saturday or early Sunday. Weather specialist John Manalo noted that the typhoon intensified the southwest monsoon, leading to increased rainfall in western regions.

Schools in Malaybalay City, including Matangpatang Elementary School, Manalog Integrated School, San Roque Integrated School, and Mapayag Integrated School, extended their suspension of face-to-face classes because of continuous rain and related hazards.

Typhoon 'Inday' caused significant disruptions to maritime operations across the Philippines on Friday, stranding over 681 passengers, truck drivers, and cargo helpers, along with 206 rolling cargoes, 12 vessels, and 33 motorbancas. The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported that 57 ports in various regions, including Southern Tagalog, Visayas, Bicol, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), were affected by the storm. Vessels and motorbancas were forced to take shelter due to unsafe sea conditions, with some regions experiencing higher numbers of stranded individuals and cargo. The storm's impact was particularly notable in Southern Tagalog, where numerous vessels and motorbancas were anchored at multiple ports.
