Short summary
This paper explores the projected changes on wind, relative humidity and solar radiation in future scenarios for the Basque Country. This work is part of the UrbanKlima2050 initiative and aims to provide a more comprehensive characterization of future climate change impacts in the region, and thus, improve the resiliency of the territory. The main results show a decrease in both wind and relative humidity by the end of this century, while solar radiation tends to increase.

We presents the Basque Country Impact Weather Catalogue, recording detailed information on adverse weather events and their environmental impacts. It includes context, hazard/risk, and impact sections, utilizing data from Euskalmet, Emergency, Media, Insurance, etc. Standardized information enables qualitative and quantitative analysis feasibility for events spanning the 21st century. The paper details catalogue design, structure, and implementation steps.
