Typhoon Bolaven was an extremely powerful tropical cyclone that struck the Northern Mariana Islands in mid-October 2023. The fifteenth named storm of the 2023 Pacific typhoon season, Bolaven originated on October 6 near the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and moved to the northwest.
Bolaven impacted Micronesia and the Northern Mariana Islands, bringing scattered floods and downing trees as it passed through. After being absorbed by another weather system, its remnant energy brought wind and rain to areas in Alaska and British Columbia. No damage or casualties were reported.
