It was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation, in which tropical cyclones form in the western Pacific Ocean. The season ran throughout 2007, though most tropical cyclones typically develop between May and November. The season's first named typhoon, Kong-rey, developed on March 30, while the season's last named storm, Mitag, dissipated on November 27. The season's second typhoon, Yutu, reached typhoon status on May 18, and became the first super typhoonA super typhoon is an unofficial category used by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) for a typhoon with winds of at least 240 km/h of the year on the next day. The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, to the north of the equator between 100°E and the 180th meridian. Within the northwestern Pacific Ocean, there are two separate agencies that assign names to tropical cyclones, which can often result in a cyclone having two names. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) will name a tropical cyclone should it be judged to have 10-minute sustained wind speeds of at least 65 km/h mph on 5 anywhere in the basin. PAGASA assigns unofficial names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility, located between 115°E–135°E and between 5°N–25°N, regardless of whether or not a tropical cyclone has already been given a name by the JMA. Tropical depressions that are monitored by the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) are given a numerical designation with a "W" suffix.

Forecasts were released in April and June predicting how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons there will be during the season. During the season, the LAR is predicting a below average season with fewer than usual tropical cyclones. In its April forecast, the LAR predicted that 28 tropical cyclones, 25 tropical storms, and 14 typhoons before in its June forecast predicting 27 tropical cyclones, 24 tropical storms and 14 typhoons. Tropical Storm Risk Consortium Since the 2000 typhoon season, the Tropical Storm Risk Consortium (TSR) of the University College of London have issued forecasts of activity for each upcoming typhoon season. During 2007, forecasts were released in March, May, June, July and August predicting how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, typhoons and intense typhoons there will be during a season.According to the Tropical Storm Risk Consortium, an intense typhoon is a typhoon that has 1-minute winds of at least 175 km/h mph on 5.March 10, 2008 http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/docs/TSRNWPForecastMar2008.pdf Tropical Storm Risk Consortium July 3, 2010 Extended Range Forecast for Northwest Pacific Typhoon Activity in 2008 Adam Lea Mark Saunders live https://web.archive.org/web/20101201005917/http://tropicalstormrisk.com/docs/TSRNWPForecastMar2008.pdf December 1, 2010 In its March forecast, TSR predicted that the season would be about 15% below average with 24 tropical storms, 15 typhoons and 7 intense typhoons. In its May forecast, TSR predicted that the season would now be near normal with 27 tropical storms, 17 typhoons and 8 intense typhoons forming during the season. Within their June July and August forecasts, TSR forecasted the season would be near normal with 27 tropical storms and 17 typhoons forming. National meteorological service predictions The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), reported on January 27, 2007, that they were expecting 15–19 tropical cyclones to move through their area of responsibility, during the upcoming typhoon season. They also predicted that due to the weak El Niño event that was occurring the first tropical cyclone wouldn't move through their area of responsibility until May. Seasonal summary Timeline of the 2007 Pacific typhoon season According to PAGASA, the Philippines had its second quietest season with 14 named storms since the 1998 season, with the 2002 and 2010 being the most quiet season.

International names Tropical cyclone naming History of tropical cyclone naming During the season 24 tropical storms developed in the Western Pacific and each one was named by the JMA, when the system was judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h mph on 5. The JMA selected the names from a list of 140 names, that had been developed by the 14 members nations and territories of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. During the season, the name Peipah was used for the first time, after it replaced the name Vamei used in the 2001 season. No international names were retired following the 2007 season.

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 10 of which are published each year before the season starts. This is the same list used in the 2003 season, except for the names Bebeng, Goring, Hanna, Lando, Mina, Nonoy, Pedring, Ramon, Sendong, Charo, Dado, Felion, Herman, Irma, and Jaime, which replaced Batibot, Gilas, Harurot, Lakay, Manang, Niña, Pogi, Roskas, Sikat, Charing, Danggit, Fuego, Hantik, Irog, and Joker.
