Short summary
We studied the 2023 Mediterranean Hurricane Daniel, an extreme storm that is difficult to predict. Using two high-resolution weather models, we analysed how different representations of clouds affect the results. Although the storm's path was clear, the intensity of the wind and rain varied significantly. The results show that precise settings are vital for effective warnings, improving the ability to predict these rare weather events to better protect the region.
