•Compared with sunny days, rainstorms resulted in elevated DOC and BDOC.•Rainstorms increased the export of DOM with high aromaticity and bio-lability.•Rainstorms resulted in elevated DOC and BDOC fluxes from both rivers.•Future increased rainstorm will increase the input of aromatic DOM. Lakes are...
