   On June 2, 2023, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
   (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of
   a much-weakened Tropical Storm Mawar spinning in the Philippine Sea off
   the coast of Japan. Near the time the image was acquired, maximum
   sustained winds were estimated near 50 mph (80.5 km/h) and it was
   traveling towards the northeast, roughly parallel to the main islands
   of Japan. It is expected to continue to weaken as it moves away from
   land and becomes extratropical on June 3, when maximum sustained winds
   should register only 40 mph (64.4 km/h).

   Mawar (also known as Betty) clipped northern Guam on May 24 as a
   Violent Typhoon carrying maximum sustained winds of 135 mph (217 km/h),
   which is the equivalent of a Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson
   Hurricane Wind Scale. It rapidly intensified, reaching peak strength on
   May 25 as a Super Typhoon, with maximum sustained winds estimated at
   185 mph (298 km/h)—an extremely strong Category 5 storm. The only other
   West Pacific Typhoon to become that strong in the month of May occurred
   in 1958, when Typhoon Phyllis reached that windspeed for a brief
   period.
