A recent study by researchers from the Shenzhen Institute for Metrological Innovation and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, published in Frontiers in Earth Science, reveals alarming findings about the future impact of tropical cyclones in Asia.
Tropical Cyclone Freddy formed in the Indian Ocean a month ago, initially hitting southern Africa in late February. In southern Africa, it left 463 dead, 360 of them in Malawi; in Mozambique, 86; and 7 on the island of Madagascar.
The India Meteorological Department said Cyclone Mandous is 460 km southeast of Karaikal and 580 km from Chennai. Under its influence, heavy to very heavy rain is very likely over Chennai and other districts of Tamil Nadu during the next two days.
Research published in Trends in Plant Science asks for the first time about the interactions between tropical cyclones and fires that affect biomes in many islands and coastal areas.
