Short summary
This study assessed regional-scale typhoon rainfall characteristics and spatiotemporal patterns. Current intensity-duration-frequency curves underestimate long-duration rainfall contributions, especially in northern regions where increases are largest. Typhoon rainfall shows significant spatiotemporal non-uniformity due to interactions with topography, typhoon characteristics, etc. These findings are critical for coastal urban defense against systematic hazards of typhoon rainfall.
