Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	54.0 mm (2.1 in)
5 years	84.8 mm (3.3 in)
10 years	107.6 mm (4.2 in)
25 years	139.6 mm (5.5 in)
50 years	165.9 mm (6.5 in)
100 years	194.3 mm (7.6 in)	Longer than the 93 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, 93 years of values from 1911 to 2008.

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: 202.0 mm (8.0 in) in 1996; 196.3 mm (7.7 in) in 1961; 180.6 mm (7.1 in) in 1945.
