A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

101 years, 1923 to 2025

A day with at least 37.4 mm (1.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 106.6 mm (4.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Oxley (Walmer Downs): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	37.4 mm (1.5 in)
5 years	53.5 mm (2.1 in)
10 years	65.1 mm (2.6 in)
25 years	80.9 mm (3.2 in)
50 years	93.4 mm (3.7 in)
100 years	106.6 mm (4.2 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 101 years of values from 1923 to 2025.

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: 118.0 mm (4.6 in) in 2011; 95.0 mm (3.7 in) in 1941; 88.4 mm (3.5 in) in 1947.
