Abstract

This paper investigates sequential extreme precipitation-heatwave compound events (SEPHCE) in China from 1975 to 2020, using data from 1929 meteorological stations. The study reveals a significant increase in SEPHCE frequency and duration, particularly since 1993, with shorter interval events disproportionately affecting southwestern and southeast coastal China. SEPHCE onset times advanced, and endings were delayed, highlighting the need for effective planning and adaptation strategies to mitigate their impacts and address potential inequalities.
