Tifón Danas (Bising) golpea Asia en julio de 2025: 4 muertos, casi mil heridos y daños millonarios
Typhoon Danas, known locally in the Philippines as Bising, severely impacted several Asian countries in July 2025. With winds of over 170 km/h and torrential rains, it killed four people, injured nearly 1,000, and caused property damage valued at over US$111 million. This extreme weather event became one of the most viral and worrying news stories of the month in Asia.
Origin and trajectory of Typhoon Danas
Typhoon Danas formed in late June 2025 in the western Pacific, near the Caroline Islands. It was initially classified as a tropical storm by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), but quickly strengthened to a Category 2 typhoon as it moved northwest. On July 3, Danas made landfall in the northern Philippines, bringing heavy rain and gusts that triggered landslides and power outages. It subsequently moved toward Taiwan and southern China, where hurricane-force winds and rapid river flooding were also reported. Finally, its remnants affected parts of Japan, causing transportation delays and canceling hundreds of flights. • Typhoon Danas 2025 path • Typhoon Bising path • Cyclone in Asia July 2025

Debate on Climate Change
Many experts have linked the formation and violence of Typhoon Danas to the effects of climate change. Rising Pacific Ocean temperatures have intensified the strength of tropical cyclones in recent years. According to studies by the Tokyo Climate Institute, the Asia-Pacific region will experience more frequent and destructive cyclones until 2040 if global CO2 emissions are not reduced. Organizations such as Greenpeace Asia and Climate Action Network have called for stronger climate mitigation policies. • Typhoon and climate change • Causes of Typhoon Danas • Global warming and cyclones
Conclusions and lessons
Typhoon Danas left a profound impact on millions of people in Asia. Beyond the material damage and lost lives, the event highlights the urgency of strengthening climate prevention, response, and education systems throughout the region. Strengthening infrastructure, empowering the population, and international cooperation will be key to reducing the impacts of future disasters. Likewise, the need to address the causes of climate change is becoming increasingly urgent. • Typhoon Danas 2025 • Cyclone Bising Philippines • Natural disaster Asia July 2025 • Viral typhoon news • Climate emergency Asia • Tropical storm Danas
