Possible connections are statistically analysed between landfalling typhoon number over China and precipitation over North China during rainy seasons(from June to September) using the datasets of the monthly landfalling typhoon number,104 stations rainfall in North China,and NCEP/NCAR sea level pressure,850 hPa streamline fields,and 500 hPa geopotential height fields from 1957 to 2002.Results show that the significantly positive correlations exist in the central and east areas of North China during rainy season with the highest correlation area situated in Raoyang and Baoding.In years with notably more landfalling typhoons,summer rainfall is enhanced over the central and east of North China,but decreased over the south,and in years with the notably less landfalling typhoons,the precipitation shows an opsite picture.Monthly analysis indicates that the most significant correlation exists in August over the central and east areas of North China too.The features of sea level pressure,850 hPa streamline anomaly,and 500 hPa geopotential height anomaly fields as well as cold air tracks in years of more(less) typhoon activity are all similar with those in yeas of more(less) summer rainfall over the center and east areas of North China.
