Short summary
We evaluated a multi-site stochastic regional weather generator (nsRWG) for its ability to capture the cross-scale extremity of heavy-precipitation events (HPEs) in Germany. We generated 100 realizations of 72 years of daily synthetic precipitation data. The performance was assessed using WEI and xWEI indices, which measure event extremity across spatiotemporal scales. The results show that nsRWG simulates the extremity patterns of HPEs well, although it overestimates short-duration small-extent events.
