PRECIS (Providing REgional Climates for Impacts Studies)

PRECIS (Providing REgional Climates for Impacts Studies) is a climate modeling tool developed by the UK Met Office designed to create detailed regional climate projections. It takes global climate data and downscales it to regional levels, providing more localized and relevant climate information. This helps policymakers, researchers, and planners understand potential future climate changes—such as temperature, rainfall, and extreme weather patterns—specific to their region. By offering high-resolution climate scenarios, PRECIS supports better planning for climate impacts, adaptation, and sustainable development.
