Typhoon Dan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Pepang, was a tropical cyclone that affected multiple areas in the Western Pacific Ocean. As the twenty-third tropical storm and the fifth typhoon of the 1999 Pacific typhoon season, it originated from a tropical depression in the Philippine Sea. The depression strengthened to a tropical storm two days later, attaining the name Dan.
Heavy rainfall and major flooding hit the Philippines, China, and Taiwan. 44 people died, and around $432.8 million (2022 USD) in damage was caused due to Dan.
