Rainfall Return Levels

35 years, 1977 to 2019

A day with at least 73.7 mm (2.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 283.1 mm (11.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Cunninghams Gap National Park: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	73.7 mm (2.9 in)
5 years	118.8 mm (4.7 in)
10 years	152.5 mm (6.0 in)
25 years	200.3 mm (7.9 in)
50 years	239.9 mm (9.4 in)	Longer than the 35 years of record
100 years	283.1 mm (11.1 in)	Longer than the 35 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, 35 years of values from 1977 to 2019.

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: 223.4 mm (8.8 in) in 2013; 187.0 mm (7.4 in) in 1981; 181.3 mm (7.1 in) in 1980.
