Rainfall Return Levels

43 years, 1974 to 2022

A day with at least 51.4 mm (2.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 164.2 mm (6.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Melba (Verbrugghen Street): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	51.4 mm (2.0 in)
5 years	69.5 mm (2.7 in)
10 years	85.3 mm (3.4 in)
25 years	110.8 mm (4.4 in)
50 years	134.9 mm (5.3 in)	Longer than the 43 years of record
100 years	164.2 mm (6.5 in)	Longer than the 43 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, 43 years of values from 1974 to 2022.

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: 136.2 mm (5.4 in) in 1974; 122.2 mm (4.8 in) in 2021; 116.0 mm (4.6 in) in 1989.
