Sanvu is the first tropical storm of the year to form in the Pacific.
A small island in the Pacific Ocean that has monumental importance for America’s Indo-Pacific relations is facing the first tropical threat of the year as what is known as Tropical Storm Sanvu inches closer to Guam.
Its expected northwesterly heading will bring the center of circulation closer to Guam, but the FOX Forecast Center expects the storm to weaken and, at most, increase rains and seas for the island. Unlike the basins of the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific, the Western Pacific does not have designated start and end dates for the season.
Asides from being the first tropical storm of 2023 in the Pacific, the cyclone will also go down in history books as being one of only a few tropical cyclones to ever pass through the shadow of a solar eclipse.The rare celestial event happened on Wednesday when the moon passed between the Earth and the sun, causing a shadow to form over parts of the eastern Indian Ocean and Western Pacific.
