Short summary
This study reveals aerosol-driven light rain shifts in China's Emission Control Era (2000–2022). The dominant role ​of aerosol-cloud microphysical processes is further quantified, with PM2.5 changes explaining 59-63 % of the decadal trends of light rain. This offers critical insights for aligning air pollution mitigation with climate adaptation strategies.
