Short summary
This study evaluates an updated version of the ALARO (ALADIN–AROME) regional climate model over Belgium at multiple resolutions, using long-term climate simulations. Coupling the model to the externalised surface scheme SURFEX (Surface Externalisée) and running at higher resolutions improved simulated temperature, precipitation, and precipitation extremes, supporting the value of high-resolution modelling for representing local climate extremes and informing adaptation.
