The study evaluates ability of regional climate models (RCMs) to reproduce relationships between large-scale heavy precipitation events (LHPEs) over the Czech Republic and atmospheric circulation. We use an ensemble of 32 RCM simulations with the 0.11° resolution from the Euro-CORDEX project, and compare the historical simulations (1951–2005) against observations from the E-OBS data set. A novel selection criterion for LHPEs is proposed, defining these as days with at least 70% of all grid boxes over a given area with precipitation amounts exceeding the 90th grid-specific percentile of the seasonal distribution of daily amounts. The association with atmospheric circulation is investigated through circulation types derived from sea level pressure using airflow indices (direction, strength and vorticity). The majority of the RCMs capture that the frequency of days with LHPEs is higher in winter than summer, but almost all underestimate the occurrence of LHPEs in both seasons. In winter, the observed LHPEs are connected mainly with cyclonic types and westerly supertype; the role of nonwesterly and cyclonic-nonwesterly supertypes is significant only in the eastern part, where the Atlantic influence is weaker. In summer, the importance of cyclonic and nonwesterly types in producing LHPEs increases compared to winter. The RCMs reasonably well reproduce these links, including differences between seasons and regions, if their ensemble mean is evaluated, but large variations occur among individual simulations mainly in summer. The importance of cyclonic vorticity is overestimated in the RCMs, while westerly advection of moist air plays a smaller role in models than in observations.
