Short summary
Precipitation generators are statistical models for generating long synthetic sequences of (multisite) precipitation for hydrological analyses. One widely-used class of precipitation generators is based on so-called 'generalised linear models'.  In this work, we extend this class to better capture key features of daily precipitation and introduce a new method to ensure realistic inter-site dependence, so neighbouring locations tend to be dry or wet at the same time.
