Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Exploring the Influence of Equatorial Waves on a Record‐Breaking Extreme Precipitation Event in Central Sahel: Insights From Convection Permitting Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The floods of 01 September 2009 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, were among the most severe in the Central Sahel's history, highlighting the region's persistent flood risk. This extreme precipitation event (EPE) was influenced by various atmospheric drivers, including Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (CCEWs).

Contribution of Tropical Cyclones to Hourly Precipitation Extremes in the Contiguous United States

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) are major drivers of contiguous United States (CONUS) flooding, yet their contribution to hourly precipitation extremes remains poorly quantified. Here we link observations from 420 gauges (1980–2024) with TC track data to attribute extreme hourly precipitation to both local and remote TCs.

Precipitation Microphysics Over the Headwaters of the Tarim River Basin: A Striking North‐South Contrast Revealed by a Decade of GPM/DPR Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The headwater regions of the Tarim River Basin (TRB), Asia's vital “water towers,” are critical for the ecological stability of arid Northwest China, yet a systematic understanding of their diverse precipitation microphysics remains elusive.

Changing Flood‐Generating Mechanisms Impact Flood Characteristics in Snow‐Dominated Catchments

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Global warming is shifting the characteristics of snowmelt floods, while simultaneously altering flood‐generating mechanisms in cold regions. Here, we disentangle the contributions of inter‐type mechanism transitions from intra‐type characteristic shifts to overall changes in flood behavior across Northern Hemisphere snow‐dominated catchments.

Projected Intensification of Hydroclimatic Extremes in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, Under CMIP6 Scenarios

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
The graphical abstract presents observed (1963–2023) and projected changes in hydroclimatic extremes in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. It integrates dry‐spell duration (CDD) and extreme precipitation (R95pTOT) using CMIP6 multimodel ensembles under SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, and SSP5‐8.5.

The Emergence of a Climate Change Signal in Ireland's Rainfall Extremes

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
Analysis of Irish precipitation records (1930–2019) shows significant relationships between rainfall extremes and global mean surface temperature (GMST), with increases of 12%–27% per °C of warming. Emergence of unusual climate conditions is already evident at several stations, most notably in the west during winter and the southeast during summer ...
