Only one tropical cyclone, named Yutu, occurred over the western North Pacific in May 2007.

Yutu formed as a tropical depression over the western North Pacific about 570 km south-southwest of Guam on 16 May and moved westwards. It intensified into a tropical storm and turned to a northwesterly track in the early morning on 18 May. Yutu continued to intensify into a severe tropical storm that afternoon. It further intensified into a typhoon the next day and turned north. Yutu took on a northeasterly track on 20 May and then weakened into a severe tropical storm on 22 May. It weakened further into a tropical storm in the early morning of 23 May and became an extra-tropical cyclone over the western North Pacific about 1 480 km east-southeast of Tokyo in the morning.
