15-Oct-2026 PolyU study reveals tropical cyclone rainfall extending further inland and warming nearshore waters increasing inland flood risks The Hong Kong Polytechnic University A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has found that the area affected by tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall is extending inland along Northern Hemisphere coasts at an average rate of approximately 3.8 kilometres per decade. Driven by rising nearshore sea-surface temperature (SST), this shift is increasing disaster risks for inland regions. Journal Nature Communications
