Precipitation exists in the form of event, which means all pixels within the same event have similar atmospheric condition and development experiences. Therefore, using GPM DPR and Himawari‐8 AHI data from 2016 to 2020, we carried out event‐based investigations on precipitations during the pre‐summer rainy season over south China. The identified rain clusters (RCs) were classified into three classes based on the mode of cloud‐top temperature, including those 265 K. The results show that RCs with mode of cloud‐top temperature 265 K contributed less than 10% of the accumulated rainfall amount. They were mainly warm‐cloud shallow precipitations triggered by local convection with low droplet density. Our results suggest that the event‐scale characteristics of precipitation are indicative of the triggers and microphysics of precipitation.
