Affecting the country four days before Typhoon Ike would devastate the Philippines, June brought widespread damage to the nation.

In addition to effects on the Philippines, 1,500 homes were damaged and 66,000 ha (160,000 acres) of farmland were flooded in the Guangdong province.

Typhoon June, the final of seven tropical cyclones to develop in the Western Pacific basin in August 1984, formed from the monsoon trough.

The associated thunderstorm activity initially failed to consolidate due to strong wind shear caused by a displaced anticyclone.

Based on the above data and an increase in the system's organization, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert.

[4][nb 2] Around this time, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) also began to monitor the storm and assigned it with the local name Maring.

[7] Despite lacking in organization,[7] a surface pressure of 986 mbar (29.1 inHg) was measured in Basco as the cyclone passed near the area.

[2] Five hours later, June made landfall 240 km (150 mi) east of Hong Kong[1] while at peak intensity.

According to the Philippine News Agency, a 22-year-old man picking seashells drowned after he was swept out to sea near Bacolod, on Negros Island.

In San Fernando, located in the northern province of La Union, 200 houses were flattened and 120 people were injured.

In Manila, heavy winds and rough seas left streets flooded, resulting in traffic jams.

[12][nb 3] Prior to its second landfall, in Hong Kong, a No 1. hurricane signal was issued after June entered the South China Sea.

A minimum pressure of 990 mbar (29 inHg) was recorded at the Hong Kong Royal Observatory early on August 30.

[8] Due to effects from both Ike and June, President Ferdinand Marcos set aside $4 million for relief work but initially refused any international aid.

UNICEF provided $116,000 worth of vitamins and medicine and an additional $116,950 in cash, as well as 28 short tons (25 t) of milk powder.
