A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

48 years, 1925 to 1973

A day with at least 52.3 mm (2.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 163.4 mm (6.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Old Burren (Windella): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	52.3 mm (2.1 in)
5 years	72.1 mm (2.8 in)
10 years	88.4 mm (3.5 in)
25 years	113.7 mm (4.5 in)
50 years	136.6 mm (5.4 in)	Longer than the 48 years of record
100 years	163.4 mm (6.4 in)	Longer than the 48 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, 48 years of values from 1925 to 1973.

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: 152.9 mm (6.0 in) in 1956; 133.4 mm (5.3 in) in 1964; 120.7 mm (4.8 in) in 1950.
