Tropical cyclones significantly increase non-injury deaths post-storm, especially from kidney, diabetes, and infectious diseases, driven by heavy rain, a global study finds.
Tropical cyclones are causing more deaths from non-injury causes in the two weeks after impact, with a 92% spike in kidney disease deaths and significant increases in diabetes, mental health, infectious, and respiratory deaths, according to a global study of 217 storms from 2000 to 2019.
Heavy rainfall, not wind, was more strongly linked to fatalities, especially for cardiovascular and infectious diseases, highlighting the need for better early warnings and health system resilience as climate change intensifies storms and expands their reach.
