Super Typhoon Sinlaku
Definition
A super typhoon is a tropical cyclone in the northwestern Pacific Ocean with sustained winds exceeding 150 mph (240 km/h); 'Sinlaku' refers to the specific storm in the 2026 Pacific typhoon season, currently the strongest of the year, packing winds up to 190 mph and threatening Guam and the Mariana Islands with catastrophic impacts.
Notable for its rapid intensification and record-low pressure, Super Typhoon Sinlaku (T2604 or 04W) exemplifies extreme weather events fueled by warm ocean waters.
