Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	44.7 mm (1.8 in)
5 years	61.4 mm (2.4 in)
10 years	73.4 mm (2.9 in)
25 years	89.6 mm (3.5 in)
50 years	102.5 mm (4.0 in)
100 years	116.1 mm (4.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 101 years of values from 1907 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: 122.0 mm (4.8 in) in 1982; 111.5 mm (4.4 in) in 1963; 109.6 mm (4.3 in) in 2008.
