An area of disturbed weather hovered over the western North Pacific to the east of Luzon for several days before developing into a tropical depression about 910 km east-northeast of Manila early on 25 August. It moved northwestwards at about 13 km/h initially and intensified to a tropical storm named Becky in the afternoon. It then turned west-southwestwards towards Luzon. Having reached severe tropical storm intensity about 520 km north-northeast of Manila earlier that day, Becky made landfall over northern Luzon on the afternoon of 26 August.
There were 103 people in the Philippines killed during the passage of Becky. A missionary school dormitory and at least 250 houses were buried by landslides triggered by heavy rain as Becky swept across three villages in northern Luzon. Another landslide occurred near a gold mine.
Becky entered the South China Sea around midnight of 26 August. Its circulation grew in size and it attained typhoon intensity about 350 km south-southeast of Dongsha on 27 August. Thereafter, it moved steadily westwards in an almost straight line at a speed of about 22 km/h. A ragged eye appeared temporarily on satellite photographs that evening. Becky passed about 100 km north of Xisha during the day on 28 August and about 50 km south of Hainan Island the next morning.
