Extreme precipitation events (EPEs) cause catastrophic losses to human lives and social economy. Focusing on the wet season from May to October, this paper formulates the complex network to characterize the spatiotemporal propagations of EPEs over 218 river basins in China. Specifically, based on the daily Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation version 2, the event synchronization along with significance test facilitates the complex network of EPEs from 1979 to 2020. By characterizing the topology of EPEs, the results show that synchronous EPEs generally occur over the Hetao Area of Yellow River Basin, Haihe River Basin and Northeast China. The complex network of EPEs classifies the 218 river basins into six communities. In May and June, more than 50 % of EPEs generally occur in South China. From July to September, over 60 % of EPEs tend to be observed in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, upper-middle reaches of Yellow River Basin, Northeast China and Southwest China. In October, about 65 % of EPEs happen in South and Southwest China. In the meantime, less than 10 % of EPEs occur in Northwest China. Among the synchronous EPEs starting in late June or early July and peaking in late July to early August, there exist propagations along the Yellow River, Haihe, Liaohe and Songhua River Basin within one to eight days. Eastward moisture transport along this pathway within four to six days drives the propagation of synchronous EPEs. The complex network analysis of this paper provides useful information for early warning and forecasting of EPEs and flood hazards.
