A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

44 years, 1960 to 2007

A day with at least 59.3 mm (2.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 121.6 mm (4.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Elsmore (Paradise Creek): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	59.3 mm (2.3 in)
5 years	75.0 mm (3.0 in)
10 years	85.7 mm (3.4 in)
25 years	99.8 mm (3.9 in)
50 years	110.6 mm (4.4 in)	Longer than the 44 years of record
100 years	121.6 mm (4.8 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 1960 to 2007.

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: 118.2 mm (4.7 in) in 1981; 115.2 mm (4.5 in) in 1976; 98.0 mm (3.9 in) in 2000.
