This paper mainly reviews and summarizes the researches on the prediction of precipitation associated with landfalling tropical cyclones (LTC), and pointed out that there are three types of forecasting techniques for precipitation:dynamic model, statistical method and dynamic-statistical combining forecasting method.The forecasting technology, mainly represented by the numerical weather prediction (NWP) model, is still very limited in its ability to forecast LTC precipitation. There are two main ways to improve the forecast error of NWP model: one is to develop NWP model; the other is to develop the dynamic-statistical method. The analysis shows that the dynamic-statistical similarity prediction is a promising technology. In view of the shortcomings in the existing research,to study on the dynamic-statistical similarity forecasting method and to explore the effective method to reduce the numerical model prediction error for LTC precipitation will be a promising field and direction of study.
