A day with at least 27.6 mm (1.1 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 76.1 mm (3.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Hamilton (Uralla): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	27.6 mm (1.1 in)
5 years	37.8 mm (1.5 in)
10 years	45.5 mm (1.8 in)
25 years	56.6 mm (2.2 in)
50 years	65.9 mm (2.6 in)
100 years	76.1 mm (3.0 in)	Longer than the 86 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, 86 years of values from 1893 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: 70.6 mm (2.8 in) in 1938; 66.0 mm (2.6 in) in 1960; 58.9 mm (2.3 in) in 1936.
