When passing through Taiwan, the typhoon brought strong winds and heavy rains. Miaoli County recorded rainfall of nearly 80 centimeters. The Taiwan fire department reported 134 injuries, mostly from traffic accidents, slips, or being struck by objects. There were no fatalities. On July 12, 137 international flights and 62 domestic flights were canceled.
After weakening into a tropical storm, Bavi moved inland, and meteorological authorities warned that its large-scale system would continue to affect eastern and northern regions of China.
