1-min winds=130
Pressure=911Typhoon Thelma, which formed on July 6, steadily intensified to a peak of convert|150|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on winds on the 11th while east of the northern Philippines. It turned sharply northward in response to a break in the ridge, slowly weakening as it remained east of any major landmass. On the 15th, convert|80|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on Typhoon Thelma hit the south coast of South Korea, causing massive flooding amounting to 123 casualties (with 212 missing) and $124 million (1987 USD) in crop and structural damage. In addition, Thelma brought heavy wind and rough seas to the Philippines that killed 12 people. [Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Dissipated=August 1
1-min winds=125
Pressure=921This cyclone was the fifth typhoon of 1987. It became the third midget of the year and maintained an eye for six days. The initial disturbance formed east of the International Dateline on July 20. As it moved west-northwest, it organized into a tropical depression. It became a typhoon on July 23 and passed over the northern Marianas island of Alamagan. By July 26, Wynne reached its maximum intensity of 125 kt/145 mph. As it rounded the western periphery of the subtropical ridge, the cyclone became sheared from the north and became an exposed center. Even so, it maintained typhoon intensity until July 29. Recurving east of Honshū, Wynne continued to weaken, becoming an extratropical cyclone by the afternoon of July 31. [Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Dissipated=August 16
1-min winds=140
Pressure=891The monsoon trough spawned a tropical depression on August 7 while around convert|500|mi|km east of the Philippines. It drifted northwestward, becoming a tropical storm on the 9th and a typhoon on the 10th. Betty turned westward, where it rapidly intensified to a convert|160|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on super typhoon on the 11th. It weakened slightly to a convert|155|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on super typhoon before hitting the central Philippines on the 12th. Betty weakened to a convert|105|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on typhoon over the country, but restrengthened to a convert|135|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on typhoon over the South China Sea. Land interaction weakened Betty to a minimal typhoon before it hit central Vietnam on the 16th. [Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Basin=WPac
Track=Gerald 1987 track.pngFormed=September 4
Dissipated=September 10
1-min winds=105
Pressure=937On September 4 a tropical depression formed east of Luzon from the monsoon trough. It remained embedded within the trough, and moved erratically, drifting northward to become a tropical storm late on the 4th. Gerald turned more to the northwest, reached typhoon strength on the 7th, and continued to intensify to a peak of convert|120|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on on the 8th. It passed south of Taiwan, disrupting the circulation and weakening it as it continued to the west-northwest. Gerald hit southeast China as a convert|65|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on tropical storm on the 10th, and dissipated the next day. Mudslides and torrential flooding up to convert|16|in|mm in some locations resulted in $131 million in damage (1987 USD) and 127 fatalities. [Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Track=Kelly 1987 track.pngFormed=October 10
Dissipated=October 18
1-min winds=95
Pressure=950A tropical disturbance formed east of the southern Philippines on October 7. Moving north-northwest for much of its life cycle, the system became a tropical depression and strengthened into a tropical storm on October 11 and a typhoon on October 12. Recurving near the 26th parallel, Kelly struck southern Japan as a typhoon early on October 17 and rapidly transitioned into an extratropical cyclone later that day in the Sea of Japan. On Shikoku Island Kelly dropped convert|20|in|mm of rain, resulting floods and landslides killed 8 people. [Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Infobox Hurricane Small
Basin=WPac
Track=Lynn 1987 track.pngFormed=October 16
Dissipated=October 27
1-min winds=140
Pressure=898Typhoon Lynn, having developed from the monsoon trough on October 14 over the open ocean, rapidly intensified to a convert|160|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on super typhoon on the 19th and 20th. It crossed through the Mariana Islands, and steadily weakened as it continued westward. Lynn passed just north of Luzon on the 23rd, and upper level winds weakened it to a tropical depression before it hit southern China on the 28th. Lynn's tight pressure gradient, in combination with a large high pressure area over China, caused heavy winds over Taiwan, resulting in the formation of torrential rains of up to convert|68|in|mm in Taipei. 42 people perished from the extreme flooding, the worst in Taiwan in 40 years.

Track=Nina 1987 track.pngFormed=November 19
Dissipated=November 29
1-min winds=145
Pressure=891Tropical Storm Nina, which began its life on November 16 in the eastern portion of the Western Pacific ocean, slowly strengthened to a typhoon on the 21st. It continued to strengthen as it passed through the Caroline Islands, and reached super typhoon strength on the 25th just east of the Philippines. Nina continued to intensify, and reached a peak of convert|165|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on winds just before hitting the central Philippines on the evening of the 25th. Nina exited the archipelago the next day as a convert|105|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on typhoon. Nina briefly re-strengthened to a convert|115|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on typhoon before turning to the north. The typhoon briefly threatened Hong Kong on the 28th, but vertical shear caused the low level circulation and upper level circulation to separate, leaving a rapidly weakening Nina to turn southward over the South China Sea. The storm finally dissipated on the 30th, but not after causing 1,036 casualties and extensive crop damage on its path of 1.12 billion Philippine Pesos (1987 pesos).
