However, on 12:00 UTC on March 1, the depression intensified into a tropical storm, being named Sally by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. However, in the span of six hours that same day, Sally undergone rapid intensification, intensifying from a minimal tropical storm into a minimal typhoon with sustained winds of {{cvt|70|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}. Further intensification occurred, and on 00:00 UTC on March 2, Sally peaked with sustained winds of {{cvt|85|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} and a minimum pressure of {{cvt|980|hPa|inHg}}. Around that time, as Sally recurved to the west, it crossed into the Philippine Area of Responsibility, causing PAGASA to name it Bebeng. Soon after, Sally weakened into a tropical storm, making landfall just north of Mindanao 06:00 UTC on March 3 with sustained winds of {{cvt|60|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}. Rapid weakening occurred due to landfall, and as it made its second landfall in Leyte at 06:00 UTC the next day, it weakened into a tropical depression. As it exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility on March 5, it began recurving southwards. As a result, it dissipated the next day, near Borneo.

As Sally peaked in intensity, the island of Koror, which was around {{convert|180|NM|km}} east of the typhoon, suffered the brunt and was lashed by hurricane-force gusts which reached {{cvt|75|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}.

Further development was slow to occur, with Thelma not intensifying past {{cvt|40|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} until March 18. Around that time, Therese began recurving north-northwestwards, intensifying at a higher rate. As a result, on 00:00 UTC the next day, Therese peaked with sustained winds of {{cvt|60|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}, attaining a minimum pressure of {{cvt|992|hPa|inHg}} just six hours later. Around that time, Therese began weakening as it then tracked westwards. However, Therese suddenly re-intensified, having a secondary peak on March 20, with sustained winds of {{cvt|55|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} and a minimum pressure of {{cvt|992|hPa|inHg}}. This phase ended a few hours later, and as Therese tracked just south of the Marianas Islands, it began weakening. Therese was able to shortly re-intensify twice, however, the storm progressively weakened after that. During these phases, Therese began tracking northwestwards, becoming extratropical on March 24.{{sfn|Climatological Data|1967|p=24}} This cyclone weakened, becoming a high-pressure area east of the International Date Line on March 26 and dissipating.

Further development was slow to occur as the storm tracked northwest, with Violet not intensifying into a typhoon until 18:00 UTC the next day. Slowly developing, at 00:00 UTC on April 4, Violet initially peaked with sustained winds of {{cvt|80|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}, crossing into the Philippine Area of Responsibility later that day, causing PAGASA to name it Karing. Initially weakening slightly, Violet regained its former strength by the morning of April 5, slowing in its northwestward trajectory. Undergoing a second bout of rapid intensification, in just six hours, Violet strengthened from having sustained winds of {{cvt|90|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} to having peak sustained winds of {{cvt|120|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} and a minimum pressure of {{cvt|940|hPa|inHg}}.

Rapidly weakening due to landfall, as it exited Luzon on 18:00 UTC that same day, it became a tropical storm. Further weakening occurred as Violet recurved westward on April 10, and as it brushed southern Taiwan on April 11, it weakened into a tropical depression. This depression recurved northwards before being absorbed by a mid-latitude trough near the Ryukyu Islands on April 12.{{sfn|Climatological Data|1967|p=24}}

However, on 12:00 UTC on May 10, the depression suddenly intensified and simultaneously peaked with sustained winds of {{cvt|40|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}, causing the JTWC to name it Wilda. Tracking westward, Wilda began weakening, becoming a tropical depression 18 hours later. Further weakening occurred as Wilda tracked southwards, and at 06:00 UTC on May 13, the depression dissipated.{{sfn|Mariners Weather Log|1967|p=214}}

Wilda produced {{cvt|11.88|in|mm}} of rainfall in Yap, becoming the fifth-wettest cyclone to impact the island.{{Tropical Cyclone Point Maxima}}

However, at 12:00 UTC on June 5, the disturbance suddenly deepened, attaining a minimum pressure of {{cvt|1002|hPa|inHg}} prior to filling rapidly. Assuming a more northwestward track, the disturbance passed between Yap and the Northern Marianas that same day. Further development occurred, and 24 hours later, the disturbance developed into a tropical depression with sustained winds of {{cvt|29|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}, later attaining a minimum pressure of {{cvt|1002|hPa|inHg}} 12 hours later. Never intensifying further, on June 8, the depression degenerated back into a tropical disturbance, dissipating later that day.

Further development occurred, and on 12:00 UTC that same day, the depression intensified into a tropical storm, being named Anita by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. As this occurred, Anita intensified at a faster rate and tracked northwestwards, becoming a typhoon at 00:00 UTC on June 28. Further intensification occurred, and later that day, as Anita passed through the Babuyan Channel (now known as the Luzon Strait),{{sfn|Mariners Weather Log|1967|p=187}} it brushed the coast of northern Luzon with sustained winds of {{cvt|70|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}}. Shortly after, at 06:00 uTC on June 29, Anita peaked with sustained winds of {{cvt|80|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} and a minimum pressure of {{cvt|975|hPa|inHg}}, exiting the Philippine Area of Responsibility later that day. However, as it approached the southern coast of China, it weakened, making landfall just south of Shan–T'ou (now known as Shantou) on 06:00 UTC the next day as a weakening tropical storm.{{sfn|Mariners Weather Log|1967|p=187}} Rapidly weakening as it tracked inland,{{sfn|Mariners Weather Log|1967|p=187}} just six hours later, it became a tropical depression, later dissipating early on July 1.

As Anita approached Hong Kong, officials issued typhoon warnings for coastal areas near the nation.{{cite news |title=Typhoon Alert On |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8zdWAAAAIBAJ |access-date=23 October 2024 |agency=Thomson Reuters |issue=47 |volume=85 |publisher=The Spokesman-Review |date=30 June 1967 |page=13 |language=en}} In the Philippines, at least twenty people died due in Ilocos Norte.{{cite news |title=Typhoon kills 20 people |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19670704-1.2.16.3 |access-date=21 October 2024 |agency=United Press International |publisher=The Straits Times |date=4 July 1967 |page=2}} Heavy rainfall from Anita produced mudslides that collapsed a gold and copper mine in Baguio, trapping forty-three miners.{{cite news |title=Dirty Undershirt Satisfies Hunger |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rVdYAAAAIBAJ |access-date=23 October 2024 |agency=United Press International |issue=247 |publisher=Spokane Daily Chronicle |date=5 July 1967 |location=Spokane, Washington |page=2 |language=en}}{{cite news |title=Hope Fades for Trapped 41 Miners |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8zdWAAAAIBAJ |access-date=23 October 2024 |agency=Associated Press |issue=47 |volume=85 |publisher=The Spokesman-Review |date=30 June 1967 |page=13 |language=en}} Of those miners, twenty-seven survived, eight went missing, and eight died.

Retaining its intensity, later that day, it passed through the Paracel Islands, tracking northwards soon after. However, as it recurved northeastwards on June 26, the disturbance suddenly developed into a tropical depression. Further intensification occurred, and on 06:00 UTC that same day, it peaked with sustained winds of {{cvt|29|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} and a minimum pressure of {{cvt|1001|hPa|inHg}}.

The next day, it crossed into the Philippine Area of Responsibility, being named Herming by PAGASA. Around that time, the 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron investigated Billie, revealing that the system was loosely organized, with most convective activity persisting in its southwest quadrant.{{cite journal |last1=Fett |first1=Robert W. |title=SOME UNUSUAL ASPECTS CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURE OF TYPHOON BILLIE—JULY 1967 |journal=Monthly Weather Review |date=September 1968 |volume=96 |issue=9 |pages=637–648 |doi=10.1175/1520-0493(1968)096<0637:SUACTD>2.0.CO;2 |url=https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/mwre/96/9/1520-0493_1968_096_0637_suactd_2_0_co_2.xml |access-date=24 October 2024}} Embedded in a major trough axis, Billie recurved westward the next day. Rapid intensification ensued, with Billie intensifying {{cvt|30|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} during that time, becoming a typhoon and peaking with sustained winds of {{cvt|70|kn|mph km/h|order=out|round=5}} and a minimum pressure of {{cvt|980|hPa|inHg}}. Despite exhibiting a mesoscale warm core, Billie never was able to develop an eyewall which encircled its eye, preventing the typhoon from intensifying further. This caused Billie to undergo several cycles of weakening and restrengthening from July 5–6 as it recurved northwestwards. However, soon after, Billie weakened into a tropical storm, exiting the Philippine Area of Responsibility on July 7 prior to weakening into a tropical depression on 18:00 UTC the next day. This depression helped enhance a front prior to becoming an extratropical low the next day.{{cite web |title=昭和42年7月豪雨 昭和42年(1967年) 7月8日~7月9日 |url=https://www.data.jma.go.jp/obd/stats/data/bosai/report/1967/19670708/19670708.html |publisher=Japan Meteorological Agency |access-date=26 October 2024 |language=ja}} This low passed through Japan, exiting on July 9, and tracked westward prior to dissipating near the International Date Line on July 12.

The front that Billie and another tropical depression enhanced caused devastating flooding throughout Southern Japan. These rains, which were concentrated in Kyushu and southwestern Honshu, produced nearly two thousand landslides.{{sfn|Mariners Weather Log|1967|p=188}} More than a thousand homes were destroyed or damaged, almost seven hundred of which were washed away.{{sfn|Mariners Weather Log|1967|p=188}} 277 bridges were swept away by landslides and floods.{{sfn|Mariners Weather Log|1967|p=188}} In total, this flooding, dubbed by the [{Japan Meteorological Center]] as the "Heavy Rains of July 1967", killed 351 people, made another eighteen go missing, and injured a further 618 people.
