Short summary
Short summary
Persistent heavy rainfall in the Asian summer monsoon region, including South China, is closely linked to intraseasonal oscillations with periods of 8–30 days. This study shows that rising levels of air pollution particles can intensify such rainfall by altering cloud development and radiation. Using observations and model simulations, the findings improve understanding of rainfall variability and support advances in extended-range forecasting.

Short summary
Short summary
This study demonstrates the instant and delayed effects of biomass burning (BB) aerosols on precipitation over the Indochina Peninsula (ICP). The convection suppression due to the BB aerosol-induced stabilized atmosphere dominates over the favorable water-vapor condition induced by large-scale circulation responses, leading to an overall reduced precipitation in March, while the delayed effect promotes precipitation from early April to mid April due to the anomalous atmospheric circulations.
