Rainfall Return Levels

32 years, 1984 to 2015

A day with at least 44.5 mm (1.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 110.3 mm (4.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Bull Bay (Lauriston): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	44.5 mm (1.8 in)
5 years	63.4 mm (2.5 in)
10 years	75.4 mm (3.0 in)
25 years	89.9 mm (3.5 in)
50 years	100.3 mm (3.9 in)	Longer than the 32 years of record
100 years	110.3 mm (4.3 in)	Longer than the 32 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, 32 years of values from 1984 to 2015.

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: 88.0 mm (3.5 in) in 1999; 84.0 mm (3.3 in) in 2015; 83.0 mm (3.3 in) in 1997.
