Short summary

Planning for climate change requires understanding how climate and weather interact to drive possible impacts. We developed a tool that simulates realistic monthly climate patterns and translates them into useful measures like energy needs. It captures seasonal cycles and year-to-year variations to bridges the gap between global climate predictions and local planning, making climate risk assessment faster and more accessible.
