The regional differences in hourly precipitation characteristics along the western coast of South China are investigated. The coastal area can be divided into three regions: two regions with large precipitation amounts to the west and east of the Leizhou Peninsula and another region with less precipitation over the Leizhou Peninsula. The precipitation center west of the Leizhou Peninsula (Dongxing station) is dominated by heavy precipitation, which frequently peaks in the early morning and has a long duration. The precipitation center east of the Leizhou Peninsula (Yangjiang station) has a high frequency of weak precipitation. There are two kinds of precipitation that occur at Yangjiang: short-duration precipitation in the afternoon and long-lasting precipitation in the morning. Over the Leizhou Peninsula (Zhanjiang station), precipitation mainly occurs over a short duration in the afternoon. The possible reasons for the different precipitation features are discussed. The morning precipitation at Dongxing is usually caused by deep convection. A large proportion of the morning precipitation events are locally generated events, which are closely related to the southerly winds and topographic barriers. Among the many possible factors affecting the morning precipitation at Yangjiang, the convergence between the land breeze and prevailing onshore airflow is an important one. The afternoon precipitation events affecting Yangjiang mostly originate over the mountains northwest of Yangjiang. Influenced by the curvature of the coastline and the relatively flat terrain over the Leizhou Peninsula, there is no convergence and less convection in the morning. However, the Leizhou Peninsula is prone to being influenced by daytime thermal forcings, which trigger afternoon precipitation.
