Short summary
A variety of real-world applications require estimates of historical weather from anywhere on Earth. The best available data products, such as ERA5, often capture large-scale weather patterns well, but struggle to capture local weather behaviour. We propose a simple and fast statistical method that takes in ERA5 weather and outputs improved simulations of local weather. The method is shown to improve local representations of historical daily temperature and precipitation all over Europe.
