A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

35 years, 1896 to 1940

A day with at least 39.4 mm (1.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 152.6 mm (6.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Canberra (Duntroon Military Co: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	39.4 mm (1.6 in)
5 years	54.4 mm (2.1 in)
10 years	68.6 mm (2.7 in)
25 years	93.7 mm (3.7 in)
50 years	119.3 mm (4.7 in)	Longer than the 35 years of record
100 years	152.6 mm (6.0 in)	Longer than the 35 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, 35 years of values from 1896 to 1940.

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: 149.1 mm (5.9 in) in 1925; 83.8 mm (3.3 in) in 1916; 78.5 mm (3.1 in) in 1934.
