Rainfall return levels at Margate Collins St: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	102.5 mm (4.0 in)
5 years	150.3 mm (5.9 in)
10 years	189.6 mm (7.5 in)
25 years	250.3 mm (9.9 in)
50 years	304.8 mm (12.0 in)
100 years	368.5 mm (14.5 in)	Longer than the 98 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, 98 years of values from 1888 to 1988.

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: 440.7 mm (17.4 in) in 1893; 308.0 mm (12.1 in) in 1980; 260.4 mm (10.3 in) in 1898.
