During 1988, tropical cyclones formed in seven major bodies of water, commonly known as tropical cyclone basins. They were named by various weather agencies when they attained maximum sustained winds of at least 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) of 1988, as calculated by the Colorado State University, is 625.4 units.[1]

After Agi formed, Tropical Cyclone Anne would impact Tuvalu, the Solomon Islands, Vanautu, and New Caledonia, causing two fatalities and $500,000 in damages before dissipating. The most notable storm of the month would be Typhoon Roy, which caused nearly $30 million in damages as it impacted the Marshall Islands, the Mariana Islands, and the Philippine The final system of the month, Frederic, would not affect land throughout its lifespan.
