A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

37 years, 1937 to 1973

A day with at least 46.0 mm (1.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 195.8 mm (7.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Watsonia Loyola: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	46.0 mm (1.8 in)
5 years	71.1 mm (2.8 in)
10 years	92.5 mm (3.6 in)
25 years	126.5 mm (5.0 in)
50 years	158.0 mm (6.2 in)	Longer than the 37 years of record
100 years	195.8 mm (7.7 in)	Longer than the 37 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, 37 years of values from 1937 to 1973.

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: 139.7 mm (5.5 in) in 1941; 134.4 mm (5.3 in) in 1946; 131.1 mm (5.2 in) in 1963.
