A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

98 years, 1890 to 1999

A day with at least 61.2 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 138.3 mm (5.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Western Creek: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	61.2 mm (2.4 in)
5 years	80.9 mm (3.2 in)
10 years	94.3 mm (3.7 in)
25 years	111.7 mm (4.4 in)
50 years	124.9 mm (4.9 in)
100 years	138.3 mm (5.4 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 1890 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: 163.1 mm (6.4 in) in 1956; 134.6 mm (5.3 in) in 1947; 124.5 mm (4.9 in) in 1970.
