The 1967 Pacific typhoon season was one of the most active Pacific typhoon seasons on record, witnessing the formation of 35 tropical storms during the season. It began on January 1, 1967, though most storms usually form between June and December within the basin. The first storm of the season, Ruby, formed on January 28 west of the Philippines. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the International Date Line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 1967 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical depressions that are monitored by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) were given a numerical designation with a "W" suffix, and any storms reaching 1-minute sustained winds of over 40 mph were given a name. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.
In 1967, the number of storms that the Japan Meteorological Agency considered "typhoons" was the record number (39).[1] However, the JTWC only considers 35 storms to have formed during the season, beginning with Ruby in January. Out of those 35 storms, 20 intensified to category 1-equivalent typhoons, 5 of those further strengthening to super typhoons.

Systems
[edit]
During the 1967 Pacific typhoon season, 40 tropical depressions formed, of which 35 became tropical storms. Twenty tropical storms attained typhoon intensity, and five of the typhoons reached super typhoon intensity.
Tropical Storm Ruby (Auring)
[edit]Tropical storm (JMA) | |
Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
Duration | January 28 – February 6 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 75 km/h (45 mph) (1-min); 996 hPa (mbar) |
Tropical Depression 01W formed on January 28, well to the south of Sorol Atoll in the Caroline Islands. It was later named Auring by PAGASA, but it did not strengthen to a tropical storm until February 5, being named Ruby by the JTWC. Ruby dissipated four days later on February 9, southeast of the Davao region of the Philippines.
Typhoon Sally (Bebeng)
[edit]Typhoon (JMA) | |
Category 2-equivalent typhoon (SSHWS) | |
Duration | February 28 – March 7 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 155 km/h (100 mph) (1-min); 980 hPa (mbar) |
Sally originated from an area of low pressure that formed northeast of Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
Severe Tropical Storm Therese
[edit]Severe tropical storm (JMA) | |
Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
Duration | March 15 – March 24 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 110 km/h (70 mph) (1-min); 990 hPa (mbar) |
Therese emerged in the western Pacific on March 15 near the Caroline Islands as a tropical depression. Within 24 hours, it intensified into a tropical storm, moving steadily west-northwestward through the Philippine Sea. By March 18, Therese reached its peak intensity with sustained winds of 110 km/h (70 mph) and a central pressure of 990 hPa, classifying it as a "severe tropical storm" per the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).[2]
The storm's path took an unusual turn on March 19–20. After tracking westward for several days, Therese executed a small counterclockwise loop near 13.9°N, 139.6°E, likely influenced by shifting steering currents. This loop marked the start of its weakening phase. By March 21, Therese curved northeastward, with winds dropping to 40–50 km/h.
Therese maintained a northeast trajectory until March 24, passing well south of the Mariana Islands. It never made landfall, remaining over open ocean throughout its 10-day lifespan. The storm dissipated on March 26.
Typhoon Violet (Karing)
[edit]Typhoon (JMA) | |
Category 4-equivalent typhoon (SSHWS) | |
Duration | March 31 – April 12 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 220 km/h (140 mph) (1-min); 930 hPa (mbar) |
Typhoon Violet, which formed on April 1, steadily weakened from its peak of 140 mph to directly impact northeastern Luzon as a 115 mph typhoon on the 8th. It dissipated in the South China Sea on April 12 without causing any significant damage.
Tropical Storm Wilda (Diding)
[edit]Tropical storm (JMA) | |
Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
Duration | May 8 – May 13 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 75 km/h (45 mph) (1-min); 1004 hPa (mbar) |
On May 8, a low-pressure area was noted by JMA near 6.3°N, 136.9°E in the western Pacific. Initially classified as a tropical disturbance, it drifted west-northwestward over the next two days, intensifying into a tropical depression by May 9 and reaching tropical storm status by May 10. Wilda's peak intensity was short-lived, with a minimum central pressure of 1004 hPa and sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h). The storm maintained tropical storm strength for approximately 54 hours, tracking steadily toward the Philippine Sea. By May 11–12, it weakened to a tropical depression just east of the Philippines. Wilda dissipated on May 13.
Wilda was notable for its compact lifespan (May 8–13) and limited impact, remaining over open ocean throughout its existence.
Typhoon Anita (Gening)
[edit]Typhoon (JMA) | |
Category 1-equivalent typhoon (SSHWS) | |
Duration | June 24 – July 1 |
---|---|

Typhoon Anita originated as a low-pressure area near 10.0°N, 142.0°E in the western Pacific on June 24. Initially moving west-northwest, it intensified into a tropical depression by June 26 and achieved tropical storm status later that day near the Philippine Sea. Anita rapidly intensified, reaching typhoon strength (Category 1) by June 28. It achieved its peak intensity on June 29 with 75-knot winds (87 mph) and a central pressure of 975 hPa near 20.5°N, 119.6°E—approximately 300 km southeast of Hong Kong. The storm maintained this strength while tracking northwest toward the southern Chinese coast.On June 30 at 06:00 UTC, Anita made landfall near Guangdong, China, as a weakening tropical storm. It rapidly deteriorated over land, downgrading to a tropical depression within 12 hours. By July 1, Anita dissipated in Jiangxi Province.
Anita caused a plane crash in Hong Kong.

Typhoon Dot formed in the western Pacific on July 19 near the Mariana Islands. Initially classified as a tropical depression, it intensified into a tropical storm by July 20, moving west-northwest. Its path soon diverged from typical storms: Dot executed a rare counterclockwise loop east of the Bonin Islands (Iwo Jima) on July 21–22.
Dot reached typhoon status (per JMA) on July 22, achieving peak intensity with sustained winds of 68 knots (125 km/h) and a central pressure of 975 hPa near 22.0°N, 144.3°E 46. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), however, classified it as a tropical storm. After completing its loop, Dot accelerated northeastward, covering 962 km at an average speed of 11.5 km/h.
By July 29, Dot transitioned into an extratropical cyclone southeast of Japan. It fully dissipated on July 31. Dot remained entirely over open ocean, causing no documented land impacts

By July 31, Fran intensified, reaching its peak intensity with sustained winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 975 hPa. Maintaining a consistent westward trajectory, Fran approached China's southern coast by August 2. At 18:00 UTC, it made landfall south of Guangdong Province as a weakening tropical storm. The system rapidly deteriorated over land, downgrading to a tropical depression within 12 hours. By August 3, Fran dissipated inland.
Severe Tropical Storm Georgia (Luding)
[edit]Severe tropical storm (JMA) | |
Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
Duration | July 28 – August 8 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 110 km/h (70 mph) (1-min); 982 hPa (mbar) |
A tropical depressionin formed in the western Pacific on July 27. Over the next 48 hours, it tracked west-northwestward, intensifying into a tropical storm by July 29. This early phase featured steady organization, with central pressure dropping to 989 hPa by July 30. Georgia reached its peak intensity on August 1–2, with maximum sustained winds of 60 knots (110 km/h) and a central pressure of 982 hPa. The storm then executed a gradual northeastward recurvature east of the Bonin Islands. By August 2, it accelerated toward higher latitudes, maintaining tropical storm strength.
After recurving, Georgia traversed the open Pacific north of 30°N. By August 4, it weakened to a tropical depression, with winds dropping below 35 knots. The system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone by August 8, ultimately dissipating near the Kuril Islands on August 13.

[edit]Tropical depression (PAGASA) | |
Duration | August 5 – August 8 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min); 999 hPa (mbar) |
Tropical Depression Neneng was a short-lived weather system. Designated solely by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), this system was not internationally recognized by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) or the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), reflecting its limited intensity and impact. Neneng formed within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on August 5, though precise dates and coordinates are not documented in available records. It followed a westward or west-northwestward track. The depression dissipated rapidly over the Philippine Sea without making landfall. Its lifespan was notably brief. No damage, rainfall data, or hazards were documented.

Tropical Depression 16W originated in the South China Sea on August 8. Initially classified as a low-pressure area, it organized into a tropical depression by August 9, tracking steadily westward. The depression reached its peak intensity on August 10–11, with maximum sustained winds of 30 knots (55 km/h) and a central pressure of 995 hPa northwest of Hainan Island, China. Despite brief consolidation, it remained a shallow system. Satellite and ship data indicated a broad circulation with scattered convection, characteristic of a monsoon depression rather than a tightly organized tropical cyclone. By August 11, 16W weakened to a remnant low just west of the Leizhou Peninsula, and dissipated shortly after making landfall near Macau.
Tropical Storm 17W

On September 14, Hurricane Sarah, which formed across the International Date Line, entered the Western Pacific. Immediately after the first advisory following Sarah's entrance into the West Pacific, it was upgraded to a minimal typhoon. Typhoon Sarah continued to intensify, and late on September 15, it was upgraded to a Category 4 typhoon. The next day, Sarah reached its peak intensity, attaining 150 mph winds and a 932 millibar (mbar) pressure reading (this was the only pressure measurement retrieved from the typhoon), making the system a super typhoon. Sarah began gradually weakening afterwards, and late on September 21, it became extratropical; it was still an 80 mph Category 1 typhoon at the time.
On September 16, Sarah made landfall on Wake Island at peak intensity, causing widespread damage. This typhoon was the third tropical cyclone since the beginning of observations in 1935 to bring typhoon-force winds to Wake Island, following an unnamed typhoon which struck on October 19, 1940 (Tomita, 1968), which brought 120 knot winds to the island, and Typhoon Olive in 1952, which lashed the island with 150 knot winds.[4]

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 6 of which are published each year before the season starts. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 1971 season. This is the same list used for the 1963 season. The names Uring, Welming, Yayang, Ading and Barang used the first time (and only, in the case of Welming). PAGASA uses its own naming scheme that starts in the Filipino alphabet, with names of Filipino female names ending with "ng" (A, B, K, D, etc.). Names that were not assigned/going to use are marked in gray.
Retirement
