Caption

NASA’s Aqua satellite flew over Typhoon Mawar and the AIRS instrument captured infrared images from the storm on June 4, 5, and 6 as it expanded, strengthened, rained on the Philippines and headed north in the western North Pacific. Strongest thunderstorms appear in purple where high cloud top temperatures were colder than -63 Fahrenheit (-52 Celsius).
