据预报显示，关岛及其他西太平洋美属岛屿领地于周一严阵以待，迎接今年以来最强劲的风暴，未来48小时内该风暴可能带来破坏性强风及大范围洪灾。
关岛国家气象局表示，超强台风“辛拉库”在美国东部时间上午9点刚过就以西北偏西方向向马里亚纳群岛移动——换算为当地时间则是当晚11点。关岛拥有三处美国军事基地。马里亚纳群岛是西太平洋的群岛，由包括关岛在内的15个不同岛屿组成，地处菲律宾以东约1500英里处，为美国托管领地。
据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻气象学家妮基·诺兰介绍，这场巨型风暴在周日达到180英里/小时的峰值强度后，目前最大持续风速稳定在175英里/小时。这是2026年迄今最强的风暴，此前的台风“纳雷尔”和“杜扎伊”峰值风速分别为149英里/小时和147英里/小时。
在西南太平洋，“台风”是用来描述热带风暴的术语，而在美国这类风暴被称为“飓风”，二者只是对同类天气系统的不同称呼。
大西洋飓风按照1至5级分级，根据其造成破坏的能力划分。最高等级5级飓风的定义是持续风速至少达到157英里/小时。在太平洋地区，达到这一强度的台风被称为“超强台风”。

尽管预计“辛拉库”在周二晚些时候穿越邻近的提尼安岛和萨皮安岛附近的马里亚纳群岛前会减弱，但气象预报员表示，该风暴仍可能以相当于4级或5级飓风的风力来袭。
官方已建议处于台风路径及附近区域的岛屿居民做好防范，除极端强风外，还需警惕雷暴和暴雨可能引发的洪涝灾害。截至气象局最新更新，“辛拉库”中心外围80英里范围内为台风级风力，外围275英里范围内为热带风暴级风力。
据气象局消息，马里亚纳群岛的罗塔岛、提尼安岛和塞班岛已发布台风警报；关岛、帕甘岛及阿拉马甘岛发布热带风暴警报；阿格里汉岛则发布热带风暴观察预警。关岛同时也发布了台风观察预警，当地官员告诫民众留在室内，远离水域。
“尽管台风级风力的威胁已大幅减弱，但这仍是一场严峻的天气事件，”关岛联合信息中心在一份公告中表示。该公告指出，“辛拉库”将在周一晚间至周三期间持续为关岛带来39至73英里/小时的热带风暴级风力。

Guam and other U.S. island territories in the western Pacific Ocean on Monday braced for the most powerful storm of the year so far, which could bring destructive winds and widespread flooding over the next 48 hours, forecasts show.
Super Typhoon Sinlaku was traveling west-northwest toward the Marianas Islands just after 9 a.m. ET — or 11 p.m. in the local time zone — according to the National Weather Service office in Guam, which is home to three U.S. military bases. The Marianas are an archipelago comprising 15 different islands, including Guam, in the western Pacific, about 1,500 miles east of the Philippines. They are U.S.-held territories.
The typhoon’s maximum sustained winds stabilized at 175 mph as the massive storm approached the island chain, after peaking at 180 mph on Sunday. This is the strongest storm to develop in 2026, behind typhoons Narelle and Dudzai, which respectively peaked at 149 and 147 mph, said CBS News meteorologist Nikki Nolan.
In the Southwest Pacific, “typhoon” is the term used to describe a tropical storm that forecasters would call a hurricane in the U.S. They’re just two different names for the same kind of weather system.
Atlantic hurricanes are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 that categorizes them by their capacity to cause damage. The highest ranking, Category 5, is assigned to storms that have sustained winds of at least 157 mph. In the Pacific, a typhoon of that intensity is called a “super typhoon.”

Although Sinlaku is expected to weaken before crossing the Marianas near the neighboring islands of Tinian and Sapian later on Tuesday, forecasters say the system could still arrive with winds equivalent to those of a Category 4 or 5 storm.
Residents of islands in or near the typhoon’s path have been advised to prepare for thunderstorms and heavy rain, potentially causing flooding, in addition to extremely strong winds. As of the weather service’s latest update, typhoon-force winds extended outward for up to 80 miles from Sinlaku’s center, and tropical-storm-force winds extended outward for up to 275 miles.
A typhoon warning was in place for the Marianas islands of Rota, Tinian and Saipan, while tropical storm warnings were in place for Guam as well as the islands of Pagan and Alamagan, and a tropical storm watch was in place for the island of Agrihan, according to the weather service. A typhoon watch was also effective for Guam, where officials warned people to remain indoors and out of the water.
“While the threat of typhoon-force winds has significantly diminished, this remains a serious weather event,” Guam’s Joint Information Center said in an advisory. The advisory noted that Sinlaku could bring tropical-storm-force winds to Guam, ranging from 39 to 73 mph, for an extended period of time between Monday night and Wednesday.
