CWB meteorologists said the tropical depression, still 3,700 km from Taiwan, was moving west-northwestward at 15 km per hour.

Although the low pressure system remains loosely structured at present, it is likely to develop into a tropical storm within the next two days, they added.

If the system’s intensity is upgraded to that of a tropical storm, it will be the 10th storm in the western Pacific this year and will take the name “Danas” — a name contributed by the Philippines meaning “to experience and to feel.”
