A deep‑learning model that converts dynamical circulation forecasts into precipitation estimates predicts a dry anomaly over central China in summer 2026, with consistent signals from March to May. Retrospective tests show the model performs best in analogue years marked by sustained central equatorial Pacific warming, which promotes a cyclonic circulation that drives northerly winds and moisture divergence, suppressing rainfall. Layer‑wise relevance propagation identifies these northerly winds as the key driver, and perturbation tests confirm that removing them eliminates the dry anomaly, demonstrating a physically interpretable link between AI predictions and climate dynamics.
