The supplementary figurecaptions：

Supplementary Fig.S1—Regional annual anomaly series of annual maximum 1-day precipitation (RX5day) in (a)-Western Shandong, (b)-Central Shandong, (c)-Jiaodong peninsula and (d)-entire Shandong. The dot line is the linear trendand R is its correlation coefficient.Slope indicates trend per year, and the slope in bold indicates trend significance exceed the 95% confidence level. Thesmoother line is the results of EEMD analysis and the solid line with dots is the original annual anomaly series.

Supplementary Fig.S2. The same as Supplementary Fig.S1, but for annual count of days when precipitation20mm (R20).

Supplementary Fig.S3. The same as Supplementary Fig.S1, but for annual count of days when precipitation50mm (R50).

Supplementary Fig.S4. Same as Supplementary Fig.S1, but for maximum number of consecutive days with precipitation1mm (CWD).

Supplementary Fig.S5. Same as Supplementary Fig.S1, but for extremely wet days (R99p).

Supplementary Fig. S6. Same as Supplementary Fig. S1, but for regional series for the ratio of R99p to total precipitation.

Supplementary Fig.S7. Difference of wind and geopotential height at 500 hPa in summer (a), and annual scale (b)between 1951–1980 and 1981–2011.
