Rainfall Return Levels

100 years, 1884 to 1985

A day with at least 27.3 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 88.3 mm (3.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Moonaree: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	27.3 mm (1.1 in)
5 years	41.8 mm (1.6 in)
10 years	52.0 mm (2.0 in)
25 years	65.9 mm (2.6 in)
50 years	76.8 mm (3.0 in)
100 years	88.3 mm (3.5 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 100 years of values from 1884 to 1985.

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: 120.4 mm (4.7 in) in 1921; 87.6 mm (3.4 in) in 1973; 67.1 mm (2.6 in) in 1893.
