98 years, 1915 to 2021

A day with at least 59.1 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 283.1 mm (11.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Exmouth Gulf: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	59.1 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	100.4 mm (4.0 in)
10 years	133.9 mm (5.3 in)
25 years	185.0 mm (7.3 in)
50 years	230.5 mm (9.1 in)
100 years	283.1 mm (11.1 in)	Longer than the 98 years of record

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 98 years of values from 1915 to 2021.

A return level is an estimate. It is least reliable for the long periods, 50 and 100 years, and for any period longer than the record behind the fit, where the fit has to reach past the largest day actually observed. It is not a forecast.

The largest wettest-day totals in the fit: 317.5 mm (12.5 in) in 1918; 245.9 mm (9.7 in) in 1964; 223.0 mm (8.8 in) in 1933.
