Rainfall Return Levels

44 years, 1956 to 2002

A day with at least 39.8 mm (1.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 196.2 mm (7.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Wanaaring (Kendabooka): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	39.8 mm (1.6 in)
5 years	65.2 mm (2.6 in)
10 years	87.2 mm (3.4 in)
25 years	122.6 mm (4.8 in)
50 years	155.9 mm (6.1 in)	Longer than the 44 years of record
100 years	196.2 mm (7.7 in)	Longer than the 44 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, 44 years of values from 1956 to 2002.

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: 222.0 mm (8.7 in) in 1976; 118.1 mm (4.6 in) in 1961; 115.0 mm (4.5 in) in 1998.
