A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

101 years, 1914 to 2020

A day with at least 34.0 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 122.2 mm (4.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Bathurst: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	34.0 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	50.4 mm (2.0 in)
10 years	63.7 mm (2.5 in)
25 years	83.8 mm (3.3 in)
50 years	101.6 mm (4.0 in)
100 years	122.2 mm (4.8 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 1914 to 2020.

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: 138.2 mm (5.4 in) in 1990; 98.6 mm (3.9 in) in 1955; 90.2 mm (3.6 in) in 1934.
