The monsoon trough spawned a tropical depression on June 23 near Guam. It tracked westward, becoming a tropical storm that night and slowly strengthened as it continued westward due to vertical wind shear. When the shear abated, Mindulle quickly intensified, reaching typhoon strength on June 27 and peaking at 125 knots (144 mph) on June 28. Land interaction with Luzon to its south weakened Mindulle, and the typhoon weakened as it turned northward. On July 1, Mindulle hit eastern Taiwan before accelerating to the northeast and becoming extratropical near South Korea on July 4.

In the Philippines, floods left more than 30 dead and more than 10 missing persons. In southern Taiwan, flooding was the worst experienced in the previous 25 years, with some areas reaching 1.5 m of precipitation over several days, resulting in 22 deaths and 14 missing persons. Floods and landslides occurred at various locations.
