According to Philstar, Typhoon Mawar is forecast to maintain its strength as a super typhoon as it passes over the Philippine Sea, but may weaken into a typhoon as it approaches the northernmost region of Luzon.

A day earlier, Typhoon Mawar hit Guam Island with winds of up to 110 km/h. This is considered the strongest typhoon in 20 years in Guam.

Guam Governor Lou Leon Guerrero confirmed that the island of 17,000 people had weathered the storm, but advised residents to stay home until the government said it was safe.
