Short summary
Convection-permitting regional climate models, such as ICON-CLM at 3 km resolution, have great potential for improved hydroclimatic simulations. The studied model run shows lower bias in air temperature and summer global radiation, as well as in the frequency of wind speed over the Weiße Elster catchment in East Central Germany. Due to a pronounced overestimation of the intensity and frequency of heavy rainfall, however the discharge estimates are skewed, with no apparent added value.
