The probability distribution of wet band precipitation anomalies based on a observation and b large ensemble historical climate experiment (HIST). Gray and green colors are for all days of the entire study period (i.e., days from June and first 2 pentads in July) and for days during lag of 0–10 days, respectively. The bars denote the count of occurrences (left Y-axis) for every 1 mm/day bin, and percentage value at the top of each bar refers to wet band occurrences coinciding with lag of 0–10 days. The occurrence of the wet band is defined as positive precipitation anomaly greater than 0.5 mm/day. The domain for the wet band is depicted as the green rectangle in Supplementary Fig. 1. The value of +1 standard deviation of June to early July wet band precipitation anomalies is illustrated by dashed vertical line. The curves represent the probability density (right Y-axis), with the mean values at the top right of each panel.
