There were a total of seven typhoon events which made landfall in Guangdong Province from 2013 to 2015 (Table 1). Three typhoon rainfall events of Utor, Usagi and Linfa (Figure 1) had a wider impact on the entire Guangdong Province than the other four typhoons of Mujigae, Kalmaegi, Rammasun and Rumbia (Figure A1, available with the online version of this paper), and are presented in the main text. The results for the other four typhoons are provided in the auxiliary material and cited in the text with capital letter of A, e.g. Figure A1.
