Typhoon Bavi struck southern Japanese islands, including Ishigaki in Okinawa Prefecture, with heavy rain and strong winds on Saturday as it moved toward Taiwan. Authorities issued warnings about flooding and landslides, with debris flying through streets and some vehicles struggling against the storm. The typhoon caused schools in Taipei to close and fishing boats to be secured in northern Taiwan ports. Over 17,000 people were evacuated in Zhejiang, and 170,000 rescue workers were on standby. In Taiwan, over 14,000 people were evacuated, primarily from mountainous areas, while flights and services were disrupted. Although Bavi is expected to weaken before reaching Taiwan, authorities took precautions due to forecasts of nearly a meter of rainfall.
