Characterization of future climate extremes over Tamil Nadu, India, using high-resolution regional climate model simulation

Tamil Nadu, an agriculturally important state in India, is recurrently exposed to floods, cyclones, and droughts that have devastating effects on human, agriculture, and economy. This persuades the study to focus on future climate extremities of the state. The future climate extremes are examined using daily temperature and rainfall simulations developed by Hadley Center’s Regional Climate Model termed PRECIS (Providing REgional Climates for...
