Short summary
Heavy short rain can trigger flash floods and debris flows. In this study we evaluated how well climate models reproduce these events in Switzerland. We compared finer and coarser resolution models with high-quality hourly precipitation observations across small to large areas. The finer models better captured where short, intense precipitation occurs, but their errors changed with area size. Flood risk studies should therefore account for these scale-related errors.
