Tropical Storm Fitow unlikely to hit Taiwan

CWB meteorologists said that Fitow, still 3,000 km from Taiwan, was moving north at 13 kph, and that chances of the storm hitting Taiwan are very slim.

The storm has a 100-km radius, with maximum center winds of 18 meters per second and gusts of up to 25 meters per second.

From Aug. 31, Fitow will likely change direction from north to northwest, and increase its speed slightly from 13 kph to 14 kph, according to meteorologists.

They predict that the tropical storm could head toward Japan.
