  • May 22, 2012: Tropical Depression 03W, which would later became Tropical Storm Sanvu, brought tropical storm-force wind gusts and moderate rainfall to the Mariana Islands. Wind gusts topped at 48 mph (77 km/h) on Guam, while rainfall totaled to 4.65 inches (118.11 mm) on Tinian within a 48-hour period.[1]
  • October 16–19, 2013: As Typhoon Francisco developed to the east, a tropical storm warning was issued for Guam. Wind gusts up to 52 mph (83 km/h) were observed on the island. A peak rainfall total of 7.9 inches (200.66 mm) was measured in Inarajan. Some trees were downed by strong wind gusts, however, no major damage was reported.[2][3]
  • October 4–5, 2014: The eye of Typhoon Vongfong passed just north of Rota, with the eyewall passing over portions of the island based on radar observations. Roughly 70% of the island briefly lost electricity. On Guam, the highest wind gust 70 mph (112 km/h) was measured at Anderson Air Force Base. The northern tip of the island received 7 inches (177.8 mm) of precipitation during the typhoon, resulting in minor flooding. Downed trees and isolated power outages were observed on Guam.[4]
  • March 15–16, 2015: Tropical Storm Bavi threatened the Mariana Islands, however, unfavorable wind shear caused the storm to degrade in structure, passing just north of Guam late on March 15. On Saipan, a maximum wind gust of 72 mph (115 km/h) was observed with a rainfall total of 4.69 inches (119.12 mm) on neighboring Tinian.[5] At least a dozen homes were destroyed by the storm in Saipan.

The typhoon produced 12–14 inches (304.8–355.6 mm) of rainfall over the island. Guam Memorial Hospital sustained $1 million in flood damage. The island of Guam saw 40% of customers losing power, with more losing water, leaving $3 million in damage to utility services. A reported 7,000 banana trees were damaged by the typhoon. Many homes were affected on Rota.[8] A total of 390 houses were damaged, of which nine were destroyed, affecting 104 residents.[9] About three weeks after the typhoon on June 5, United States President Barack Obama approved a major disaster declaration for Guam,[10] total damage from Dolphin was $7.01 million.[8]
