Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	57.2 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	77.9 mm (3.1 in)
10 years	93.6 mm (3.7 in)
25 years	116.0 mm (4.6 in)
50 years	134.8 mm (5.3 in)
100 years	155.3 mm (6.1 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 103 years of values from 1913 to 2016.

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: 167.8 mm (6.6 in) in 1976; 156.0 mm (6.1 in) in 2009; 130.8 mm (5.1 in) in 1921.
