storm of the year but unlikely to affect Taiwan; meanwhile, a cool and wet weather is expected to last at least a week due to the impact of northeasterly winds, according to Weather Central Bureau (CWB).
Tropical Storm Lan (蘭恩), the 21st tropical storm this year, formed near Guam at 2 a.m. just after typhoon Khanun has ended its impact on Taiwan. The storm is around 2000 km away from the southernmost tip of Taiwan and moving at a speed of 11-14 kph in a west-northwest direction, according to meteorologist Liu Yu-chi(劉宇其) in an interview with CNA.
Tropical storm No. 21 is unlikely to affect Taiwan; however, it is still under observation for its future path and intensity, Liu added. [FULL STORY]
