The objective of this research was to develop a mathematical and statistical model for long-term prediction. The Extreme Value Theory (EVT) was applied to analyze the appropriate distribution model by using the peak-over-threshold approach with Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) to predict daily extreme precipitation and extreme temperatures in eight provinces located in the upper northea…
