“…It was reported in the World Urbanization Prospects that more than 54% of the global population currently lives in cities, and this percentage is projected to reach 66% by 2050 [1]. The 2014 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted that several large metropolitan areas around the world may experience a temperature rise of greater than 1.5°C under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6 scenario, which introduces additional challenges for cities with respect to coping with climate change and its impact [2,3].…”

The impacts of anthropogenic land use and land cover (LULC) changes on the spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation in megacities have been highlighted in studies on urban climate change. In this study, we conducted a quantitative analysis of urban growth on the impact on precipitation in Shanghai, China. We considered four periods of LULC data in 1979, 1990, 2000 and 2010, in addition to the long-term (1979–2010) trend of daily precipitation. The results indicate that the trend in precipitation exhibit different characteristics for urban (Ur), outskirt of urban (OUr) and outer suburb (OS) regions. Most Ur regions had an upward trend in annual and extreme precipitation during 1979–2010, while annual precipitation for the OUr and OS regions exhibited a decreasing trend. From 1979 to 2010, the areas of fastest expansion were located in the OUr region. The OS region, far away from the central area, had a relatively lower rate of change. In addition, OUr regions with rapid LULC changes exhibited higher increasing trends in annual and daily extreme precipitation, which is critical for the identification of frequent precipitation areas and the reliable projection of further changes.

With global warming, precipitation events are often prone to intensify in some regions. Understanding the changing characteristics of annual and daily extreme precipitation as well as the underlying mechanisms plays an import role for early warning of precipitationinduced disaster (e.g. floods, landslides) and water resources management, especially in densely populated urban areas. In this study, we investigate the long-term trend of annual and daily extreme precipitation in China during 1960-2010 based on daily observations from 539 meteorological stations, and the land cover map with impervious information. We find an overall increasing trend in annual and daily extreme precipitation, particularly in SouthEast and NorthWest of China. Moreover, 157 stations located in metropolitan regions experience higher increasing trends of daily extreme precipitation, particularly in Shanghai and Guangzhou metropolitan areas. It is noted that the central urban area of one metropolitan region may have significantly higher increasing trends of daily extreme precipitation than corresponding surrounding areas.
