  • This study shows that tropical cyclone heavy rainfall has extended inland along the coasts of the Northern Hemisphere with a rate of 3.8 km per decade since 1980. Nearshore sea-surface warming drives this expansion, with coastal urbanization further amplifying the effect. These findings highlight increasing flood risk for inland populations as cities grow.

  • Tropical cyclone rain rates rise by over 20% in the 60 hours before landfall, which is driven by land–sea thermal and friction contrasts, heightening coastal flood risk. In addition, this enhancement has implications for forecasting and preparedness.

  • Using satellite observations, the authors show that the average tropical cyclone (TC) rain rate increases significantly with translation speed. On average, the rain rate of a fast-moving TC is about 24% higher than that of a slow one.

  • The tropical cyclone (TC) precipitation footprint has expanded globally. Interpretable machine learning reveals that this footprint is majorly controlled by TC wind speed, location, sea surface temperature, wind shear, and total water column vapor.

  • How the rainfall intensity of tropical cyclones changes with climate change is not well known. Here, the authors show that while the rain rate in the outer region of TCs is clearly increasing between 1999 and 2018, it decreases significantly in the inner-core of TCs during 1999-2018.

  • Since the mid-1990s, the destructive potential of tropical cyclones in the South Indian Ocean has significantly decreased due to reduced frequency and duration, changes in cyclone locations, and the decrease in Mascarene High, according to analysis of destructive potential of tropical cyclones using a power dissipation index.
