A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

33 years, 1970 to 2013

A day with at least 29.2 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 75.0 mm (3.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Salt Creek (Pitlochry Outstati: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	29.2 mm (1.1 in)
5 years	39.5 mm (1.6 in)
10 years	47.1 mm (1.9 in)
25 years	57.6 mm (2.3 in)
50 years	66.0 mm (2.6 in)	Longer than the 33 years of record
100 years	75.0 mm (3.0 in)	Longer than the 33 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, 33 years of values from 1970 to 2013.

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: 63.8 mm (2.5 in) in 1973; 63.2 mm (2.5 in) in 2007; 50.8 mm (2.0 in) in 1970.
