- Typhoon Danas made landfall on Taiwan's southwestern coast late Sunday, bringing record winds, heavy rain, power outages, and casualties on July 7, 2025.

- Danas caused flooding in 200 locations, injured at least 334 people, killed two in Tainan due to a falling tree and power outage, and stranded thousands of tourists on outlying islands by suspending transport services.
- At the height of the storm, power outages affected 496,000 households, and as of Monday morning, more than 388,000 remained without electricity. Officials also issued warnings about potential landslides in several mountainous regions.
- After weakening early Monday to a tropical storm and exiting Taiwan, Danas moved into the Taiwan Strait as authorities urged vigilance for mudslides and accelerated recovery and supply monitoring efforts.
