Short summary
Heavy rainfall in Europe is often linked to weather fronts. To understand how these events may change in the future, we first need to evaluate how well climate models represent them. We found that all models show substantial biases, particularly for cold fronts, while higher-resolution models improve their simulation. Warm fronts also show biases, though they are generally better represented than cold fronts. This highlights the importance of high-resolution models for reliable projections.
