Summary

Description
English: Tropical Storm Champi first formed as a tropical depression in the waters near Micronesia, moving past Guam on June 21, 2021. By the next afternoon, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JWTC) advised the depression had strengthened to tropical storm strength as it moved past Guam.

On June 23 at 11:00 p.m. EDT (0300 UTC), JTWC reported that Tropical Storm Champi was carrying maximum sustained winds of 46 mph (74 km/h) and was located near 18.9 degrees North and 139.9 degrees East, or about 436 miles (700 km) south of Iwo To (Iwo Jima), Japan. It is moving northward at about 6 mph (10 km/h).

Tropical Storm Champi is forecast to continue to track northward for the next 48 hours before turning northeastward. The JTWC expects the storm to reach a peak intensity of about 80 mph (130 km/h) before that turn. After that time, Champi will move into cooler waters and meet increasing vertical wind shear, leading to weakening and extratropical transition later this week.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the newly-formed Tropical Storm Champi as it passed near Guam on June 22. The storm has circulation coalescing around a large cloud-filled center. Guam is the largest island under the convective clouds just east of the center of the storm. According to the National Weather Service Guam Facebook page, Guam Airport received record rainfall for the day of June 22, with 2.83 inches measured. The strongest wind gust was 40 mph (64 km/h), measured at Apra Heights.
