The study examines the wetness over the China mainland under the 1.5°C global warming using the 3-monthly Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) based on an ensemble of CORDEX regional climate models. Results indicate that the Northwest China is characterized by more severe wetness than the other subregions. And the winter shows the largest wetness among the four seasons, especially for North China, Northeast China and Northwest China, with the ensemble mean and median of their regionally averaged SPI showing abnormally wet.
