Rainfall Return Levels

36 years, 1967 to 2004

A day with at least 56.4 mm (2.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 206.5 mm (8.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Won Wron Prison: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	56.4 mm (2.2 in)
5 years	84.3 mm (3.3 in)
10 years	106.9 mm (4.2 in)
25 years	141.1 mm (5.6 in)
50 years	171.5 mm (6.8 in)	Longer than the 36 years of record
100 years	206.5 mm (8.1 in)	Longer than the 36 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, 36 years of values from 1967 to 2004.

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: 218.4 mm (8.6 in) in 2002; 159.0 mm (6.3 in) in 1983; 123.4 mm (4.9 in) in 1970.
