Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	32.2 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	47.4 mm (1.9 in)
10 years	59.4 mm (2.3 in)
25 years	77.3 mm (3.0 in)
50 years	92.9 mm (3.7 in)
100 years	110.5 mm (4.4 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 102 years of values from 1905 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: 137.2 mm (5.4 in) in 1971; 84.0 mm (3.3 in) in 1988; 83.8 mm (3.3 in) in 1951.
