A day with at least 47.2 mm (1.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 160.2 mm (6.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Delegate Post Office: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	47.2 mm (1.9 in)
5 years	66.6 mm (2.6 in)
10 years	83.0 mm (3.3 in)
25 years	108.7 mm (4.3 in)
50 years	132.2 mm (5.2 in)
100 years	160.2 mm (6.3 in)	Longer than the 87 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, 87 years of values from 1897 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: 175.8 mm (6.9 in) in 1934; 174.0 mm (6.9 in) in 1919; 137.2 mm (5.4 in) in 1971.
