The relationship between extreme precipitation and surface temperature greatly varies with season and region-Understanding such relationship is helpful to the prediction and mitigation of extreme climate. Temperature and precipitation records at 757 meteorological stations are used in this study. Extreme precipitation is defined as the 90th percentile of precipitation. Using the mathematical statistics

we found that ① in general the scaling rate of extreme precipitation with surface temperature is determined by the Clausius-Clapeyron (C-C) relationship. However

the scaling rate varies with season and region; ② the scaling rate is greatest in summer; ③ in the longitude direction

the scaling rate seems highest in the region band ranging from 100-110°E

and it decreases towards both sides of this band; in the latitude direction

the scaling rate is higher in the low-mid latitude region than the mid-high latitude region; ④ the seasonality of the scaling rate tightly associated with the monsoon system

and it is strongest in the southeast region; ⑤ there are more stations with the super C-C scaling rate in the continental climate zone.
