Super Typhoon Mawar: The Most Powerful Storm in Over 2 Years.
TL;DR Summary
Super Typhoon Mawar, the most powerful storm system on Earth in over two years, is currently raging through the Pacific with winds of 165 mph and 70-foot waves. The storm is expected to maintain Category 5-equivalent strength for days before weakening upon eventual approach to Taiwan. Mawar is among the top 10 strongest storms to occur globally since 2000 and matches the strongest storms ever observed worldwide during the month of May. The storm is a product of natural randomness but fits into a pattern of more intense storms and storms more prone to rapid intensification in an era earmarked by warming oceans and human-induced climate change.
