Typhoon Mawar Barrels Across the North Pacific
As Typhoon Mawar (also called Betty in the Philippines) has been making its way across the North Pacific, NOAA satellites, along with satellites operated by our international partners, have been carefully tracking the storm.
Mawar is the second named storm and the first typhoon of the 2023 Pacific typhoon season. So far, Mawar is one of the strongest tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere on record that occurred in the month of May as well as the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide this year so far.
