“…Specifically, SP‐Cluster 1 (SP‐Cluster 3) is characterized by a strong ridge (trough) near Lake Baikal (48–58°N, 103–113°E), while SP‐Clusters 2 (SP‐Cluster 4) is associated with a strong ridge (trough) near Northeast China (42–53°N, 125–137°E). This is consistent with recent studies suggesting that the East Asia summer rainfall is closely related to mid‐ and high‐latitude disturbances, in addition to anomalies over the subtropical and tropical western North Pacific (Chen et al., 2023; Hu, Deng, Zhou, Cui, & Dong, 2019; X. Li & Lu, 2017; J. Li, Zwiers, et al., 2021; X. Li et al., 2023; Z. Xu, Huang, et al., 2023). Therefore, each typical SP has three critical locations at subtropical, extratropical and mid‐latitude regions (Figures 2a–2d).…”
