China tropical cyclone rainfall climatology

Typhoon Nina in 1975 caused the collapse of two huge reservoirs and ten smaller dams when 1062 mm (41.81 inches) of rain fell in Henan Province during a 24‑hour period.

Super Typhoon Carla was the wettest tropical cyclone on record for mainland China.

The heavy rains occur over a large area, typically 1,000,000 square kilometres (390,000 sq mi).

[citation needed] The wettest tropical cyclone on record for the mainland was Super Typhoon Carla, which dropped 2,749 millimetres (108.2 in) of rain over a 48-hour period.

[12] An early October 2004 tropical depression brought moisture into the highlands of Tibet, leading to daily precipitation of 60 mm/2.4 inches liquid equivalent to Che-Ku County all in the form of heavy snow, which was a new October daily precipitation record for both rain and snow.
