Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate climate change forecasting in Kerman city using general atmospheric circulation models available in LARS-WG6 software (EC-EARTH, GFDL-CM, HadGEM2-ES, MIROC5 and MPI-ESM-MR) under scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 for the period (2020–2050) and estimate its maximum precipitation over the various return periods during the base period (1961–2010) and future (2020–2050) using the Gamble distribution. The results showed that all five models have the same response in increasing the minimum and maximum temperatures in the city so that the maximum increase in the minimum temperature in GFDL-CM, HadGEM2-ES, MIROC5 and MPI-ESM-MR models is the results were 3.56, 2.73, 2.33 and 2.30 degrees Celsius, respectively. Also, the maximum temperature in the RCP4.5 scenario in May, September, May, September and July, respectively, in EC-EARTH, GFDL-CM, HadGEM2-ES, MIROC5 and MPI-ESM-MR models, respectively, increased by 2.20, 2.82, 2.46, 1.98 and 2.38 °C, respectively. Precipitation decreased by 19.05% and 4.62% in EC-EARTH and MIROC5 models, respectively. The results show that maximum precipitation will occur with higher rainfall in all models except MPI-ESM-MR. Finally, it can be concluded that with increasing return period, the maximum amount of probable precipitation increased under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios and was more severe under RCP8.5 scenario. %U https://ije.ut.ac.ir/article_76587_e816912fd7db7f9e62d19890b8a0bd16.pdf
