A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

35 years, 1971 to 2014

A day with at least 42.5 mm (1.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 99.3 mm (3.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Neerim South (Tarago Reservoir: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	42.5 mm (1.7 in)
5 years	55.4 mm (2.2 in)
10 years	64.8 mm (2.6 in)
25 years	77.7 mm (3.1 in)
50 years	88.2 mm (3.5 in)	Longer than the 35 years of record
100 years	99.3 mm (3.9 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 1971 to 2014.

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: 79.0 mm (3.1 in) in 1990; 75.4 mm (3.0 in) in 1977; 67.6 mm (2.7 in) in 1973.
