During last October's general conference, President Russell M. Nelson announced 18 new temples, which brought the total number of temples worldwide in operation, under construction, or announced to exactly 300.
With that announcement, President Nelson himself had announced a total of 118 temples, which is more than a third of all temples (operating, under construction, and announced).
Now, six months later, five of the 18 temples that President Nelson announced last conference have an identified site, and the other 13 are still in initial planning and design stages.
Here are the statuses of the 18 temples:
Busan, Korea: Initial design and planning

Eket, Nigeria: Initial design and planning
Chiclayo, Peru: Initial design and planning
