The '1948 Pacific typhoon season' has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1948, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
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 1948 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin were assigned a name by the North Pacific Typhoon Warning Service.
A tropical disturbance developed into Tropical Storm Karen on January 11, well west of the Philippines. It curved westward while slowly intensifying, becoming Typhoon Karen. After a prolonged period of the slow intensification, the tropical cyclone began to rapidly strengthen. It became a super typhoon on the 16. Shortly after, it weakened and dissipated on January 19.
Ophelia formed on June 10 in the South China Sea. It moved west and struck southern China. It dissipated the next day, without attaining maximum sustained winds any higher than 45 mph.
Typhoon Ione made landfall in Japan.
Agnes struck Japan.
