Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	41.0 mm (1.6 in)
5 years	57.0 mm (2.2 in)
10 years	69.6 mm (2.7 in)
25 years	88.3 mm (3.5 in)
50 years	104.4 mm (4.1 in)
100 years	122.7 mm (4.8 in)	Longer than the 84 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, 84 years of values from 1895 to 1997.

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: 136.4 mm (5.4 in) in 1942; 125.7 mm (4.9 in) in 1962; 98.3 mm (3.9 in) in 1956.
