Global warming has intensified the hydrological cycle, resulting in more frequent extreme precipitation events and altered spatiotemporal precipitation patterns in urban areas, thereby increasing the risk of urban flooding and threatening socio-economic and ecological security. This study investigates the characteristics of summer extreme precipitation in the Poyang Lake City Group (PLCG) from 1971 to 2022, utilizing the China Daily Precipitation Dataset and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data. Nine extreme precipitation indices were examined through linear trend analysis, Mann&ndash:Kendall tests, wavelet transforms, and correlation methods to quantify trends, periodicity, and atmospheric drivers. The key findings include: (1) All indices exhibited increasing trends, with RX1Day and R95p exhibiting significant rises (p <: 0.05). PRCPTOT, R20, and SDII also increased, indicating heightened precipitation intensity and frequency. (2) R50, RX1Day, and SDII demonstrated east-high-to-west-low spatial gradients, whereas PRCPTOT and R20 peaked in the eastern and western PLCG. More than over 88% of stations recorded rising trends in PRCPTOT and R95p. (3) Abrupt changes occurred during 1993&ndash:2009 for PRCPTOT, R50, and SDII. Wavelet analysis revealed dominant periodicities of 26&ndash:39 years, linked to atmospheric oscillations. (4) Strong subtropical highs, moisture convergence, and negative OLR anomalies were closely associated with extreme precipitation. Warmer SSTs in the eastern equatorial Pacific amplified precipitation in preceding seasons. This study provides a scientific basis for flood prevention and climate adaptation in the PLCG and highlighting the region&rsquo:s vulnerability to monsoonal shifts under global warming.
