Persistent extreme precipitation events (PEPEs) in China are investigated in the context of a new definition that considers both the persistence and the extremity of daily precipitation at individual stations.An identification method for regional PEPEs is designed based on joint application of this defiaition and a spatial contiguity criterion.Between 1951 and 2010, individual-station-based PEPEs occurred mainly in Central-Eastern China (26-34°N) and South China (south of 26°N).
