Short summary
High-resolution climate simulations can improve our understanding of precipitation and temperature patterns in regions with complex terrain. We evaluate a new climate dataset against in-situ observations and assess its potential for hydrological modeling. Our results show that, despite some limitations in dry areas, high-resolution climate models can provide useful daily-scale information for hydrological applications, supporting their use in water resources planning and decision-making.
