TROPICAL Storm Ida is getting stronger in the open Atlantic Ocean but remains no threat to any land, forecasters say.
The storm's maximum sustained winds on Monday morning increased to near 50mph and the US National Hurricane Centre says additional strengthening is forecast during the next day or so followed by slight weakening on Wednesday.
Ida is centred about 995 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands and is moving north-northwest near 7mph.
