Short summary
The availability of high-resolution rainfall data is limited. This study presents a method to generate hourly and 1 km gridded rainfall data for detailed hydrodynamic flood modelling purposes, using point measurements and thin-plate spline interpolation. The analysis shows that the proposed dataset outperforms other gridded datasets in representing spatial distributions and daily and hourly variations of rainfall. The data is suitable for any study where high-resolution rainfall data is needed.
