Abstract: China's flooding disasters by heavy rainfall occurred frequently in recent years. Regional heavy rainfall lasting long time and with a wide range is a kind of extreme weather events that is a serious threat to the society. Regional heavy rainfall has become the focus of attention of the society and academic circles. Therefore, it is necessary to study the spatiotemporal pattern of regional heavy rainfall in China in recent years. Selection based on the definition of regional heavy rainfall, last days, impact station number, maximum daily precipitation and cumulative precipitation as the four indicators, statistical analysis of the China regional heavy rainfall spatiotemporal pattern between 1961 and 2010 was carried out in this study. The results showed that:China's regional heavy rainfalls are mainly distributed in the east region as a result of monsoon of the line between Mohe in Heilongjiang province and Tengchong in Yunnan province. Regional heavy rainfalls are more concentrated in eastern coastal provinces and cities, led by Guangdong province. In temporal dimension, China's regional heavy rainfall is quasi periodic oscillations in ten years (6.5 and 13 years) and occurred more with around 1997. Regional heavy rainfall are more concentrated in May to September during a year from long-term period, and four indicators reached the highest in June.

Key words: regional heavy rainfall, large scale pattern, annual variation, monthly variation, China
