According to the IPCC AR5, however, there are little indications of a change in the number of tropical cyclones, although they are becoming more intense (p. 107, TS.5.8.4 Cycyclones, although they are becoming more intense (p. 107, TS.5.8.4 CyclonesCyclones):

It also states that even though there is some evidence of increased intensity, «There is no clear trend in the annual numbers of tropical cyclones.»

Further complicating the use of these proxies is the fact that the deviation in oxygen - 18 ratios is affected by the amount of TC rainfall, the distance from the center of the cyclone at which the rain was produced, and the intensity of the cyclone — so I doubt these proxies alone will enable disentangling intensity and rainfall, tnough a large number of samples over an area could reveal information about the track and extent of the TC event.

This is because in the latter part of the time series there is a decrease in the total number of tropical cyclones, largely owing to a large multidecadal cyclone in the WPAC (which comprises 40 % of the global tropical cyclones), see Fig 3 in Webster et al..

I wonder if the fact the higher SSTs will lead to somewhat longer seasons (and 2005 certainly had that), and larger sea - surface area where TCs might form, would serve to counteract the effect you describe, and still lead, net - net, to an increase in the number of tropical cyclones with higher SSTs.

See Wikipedia for the long term trend in number of storms: «While the number of storms in the Atlantic has increased since 1995, there seems to be no signs of a global trend; the global number of tropical cyclones remains about 90 ± 10.»

I wonder could it be the influence of an increasing number of cyclones (caused by global warming???) hitting the north west coast and moving inland in a south easterly direction, providing brief but heavy rain to an otherwise dry area?

In other words, the metric is not cyclone production but cyclone number, intensity and pathway from year - to - year.

I note that the recent paper shows a dramatic uptick in storm activity that has been convincingly refuted by «strong evidence that there has been no systematic change in the number of north Atlantic tropical cyclones during the 20th century.»

For example, the latest report from the IPCC says while there could be a decrease or no change in the number of tropical cyclones occurring globally through the 21st century, they are likely to be stronger when they do strike.

Worldwide there will likely be an average increase in the maximum wind speed of tropical cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons) of 2 to 11 %.6 Because of the way extremes respond to changes such as these, Category 4 and 5 hurricanes are expected to nearly double in number by the end of the century.7 The rate of rainfall associated with tropical cyclones, an important factor in flooding, is expected to increase approximately 20 % within 100 km of the center of these storms.8

[20] In the US southern climatic region (which extends from Mississippi through Texas) the number of daily heavy precipitation events has increased by 25 percent over the long - term average, and tropical cyclones contributed 48 percent of that increase.

While there has been a recent increase in the number of landfalling US hurricanes, the increase in tropical cyclone - associated heavy events is much higher than would be expected from the pre-1994 association between the two, indicating that the upward trend in heavy precipitation events is due to an increase in the number of heavy precipitation events per system.

«For the high emissions scenario, it is likely that the frequency of hot days will increase by a factor of 10 in most regions of the world», said Thomas Stocker the other Co-chair of Working Group I. «Likewise, heavy precipitation will occur more often, and the wind speed of tropical cyclones will increase while their number will likely remain constant or decrease».
