A day with at least 33.8 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 104.7 mm (4.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Cradock (Kanyaka): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	33.8 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	50.6 mm (2.0 in)
10 years	62.6 mm (2.5 in)
25 years	78.7 mm (3.1 in)
50 years	91.4 mm (3.6 in)
100 years	104.7 mm (4.1 in)	Longer than the 99 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, 99 years of values from 1898 to 1999.

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: 138.0 mm (5.4 in) in 1977; 113.3 mm (4.5 in) in 1921; 78.5 mm (3.1 in) in 1920.
