Tropical cyclones and climate change
Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2019 Since the Eighth International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones (IWTC-8), held in December 2014, progress has been made in our understanding of the relationship between tropical cyclone (TC) characteristics, climate and climate change. New analysis of observations has revealed trends in the latitude of maximum TC intensity and in TC translation speed ...

Contrasting the synoptic drivers of the UK heatwaves of 1976, 2003, 2018 and 2022
Weather, EarlyView.UK summer heatwaves are dictated by the polar jet stream position and sea surface temperature (SST) variability, affecting the Summer North Atlantic Oscillation (SNAO) index. The SNAO can determine and influence the Central England Precipitation (CEP) and Central England Temperature (CET).

Increased dependency of regional drought termination on landfalling tropical cyclones
Communications Earth & EnvironmentLandfalling tropical cyclones frequently occur with strong winds and heavy rainfall, providing substantial water resources. The positive impacts of tropical cyclones on drought alleviation and termination remain unknown.

Weather, EarlyView.Cyclone Ditwah (2025) made landfall in Sri Lanka as a tropical cyclone with only moderate intensity winds (~65–75kmh−1). Yet, its prolonged heavy rainfall also led to landslides and widespread flooding across Sri Lanka and the southern Indian states, with the combined effects of hazards causing impacts totalling 4.1 billion USD. Ditwah is, therefore, a

Relation of Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Activity With Observed and Predicted ENSO Indices
Geophysical Research LettersEl Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences global climate variability, including Atlantic tropical cyclone activity. The Niño‐3.4 index has long been used to characterize ENSO. However, new ENSO indices have been proposed in recent years.

Tropical Cyclone Track Forecasting
, 2018 Tropical cyclones are large-scale low-pressure systems that form over warm tropical and subtropical waters. These low-pressure systems are characterized by high-speed surface wind circulation, rotating spirals of thick clouds, heavy rain, and surges, the
