Tropical Storm Saudel has formed in the western Pacific, but its potential impact on Taiwan remains unclear.
The Central Weather Administration says the storm developed from a tropical depression southeast of Guam this afternoon, becoming the 18th named storm of the typhoon season.
Saudel was located about 1,500 kilometers southeast of Taiwan mid-afternoon, and was moving north at around 32 kilometers per hour.
The storm is currently forecast to move toward waters south of Japan's Ryukyu Islands.
