ABSTRACTClimate change affects the intensity and frequency of precipitation and is highly linked to flooding, especially in urban environments. In the Mediterranean Region, the seasonality of severe flood events was found to coincide with the seasonality of the daily precipitation maxima. The integrated flood risk management requires extensive analysis on the local precipitation regime, and, in terms of sustainability, this approach should also take into account the climate change perspective. This research work focuses on the analysis of daily precipitation maxima patterns for selected cities over Mediterranean, using the model simulations by the EURO-CORDEX. Particularly, trends and other statistics are analysed for two RCP scenarios and the results are provided for two periods: 2030-2060 and 2060-2090, and also on a mean monthly basis. The analysis focuses on determining specific spatial patterns regarding daily precipitation projections for both coastal and inland Mediterranean cities.
