ABSTRACT This study reveals the spatial and temporal variations of summer extreme heat (EH) distribution in China under the background of anthropogenic climate change. Using data from 1542 meteorological stations in China during the 1961–2018 period, both the interannual and interdecadal variations of the frequency and intensity of EH are analyzed. Variations in the temporal and spatial distribution of EH in summer, which is categorized into early summer and midsummer, are determined through empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. The results show that summer EH in China has the following characteristics in terms of time of occurrence and variation of spatial distribution on both intraseasonal and interdecadal time scales. Since 2000, the range and intensity of EH has increased in May, especially during the 2010s with an obvious early onset. The spatial distribution of EH in summer features an intraseasonal variation. In the Huanghuai region, EH mainly occurs in early summer (June), while in the Jiangnan and Jianghuai regions it occurs in midsummer (July–August). Since 2010, the frequency and intensity of EH has decreased in early summer but increased in conventional summer (June–August) with significant intraseasonal variation. The variation trend of the frequency and intensity of EH in North China, Huanghuai region, and Jianghuai region in both early summer and midsummer are consistent with the trend across the entire country, indicating that these regions are positive contributors to EH variation throughout the country.
