LondonStrong cyclones now die out 18.6% faster after landfall.
Weak storms last 14.5% longer inland, taking rain and wind to unprepared regions.
The study of 885 landfalls since 1979 links weak-storm persistence to warmer seas and moisture, strong-storm decay to drier soil.
Risk models assume all storms respond alike, the authors say, and the paper’s final version is pending.
