A year with missing days can understate an extreme.

Rainfall Return Levels

39 years, 1969 to 2008

A day with at least 37.6 mm (1.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 81.1 mm (3.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Elderslie South (Staples Suga: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	37.6 mm (1.5 in)
5 years	49.4 mm (1.9 in)
10 years	57.2 mm (2.3 in)
25 years	66.9 mm (2.6 in)
50 years	74.0 mm (2.9 in)	Longer than the 39 years of record
100 years	81.1 mm (3.2 in)	Longer than the 39 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, 39 years of values from 1969 to 2008.

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: 76.2 mm (3.0 in) in 1970; 73.0 mm (2.9 in) in 1998; 68.6 mm (2.7 in) in 1995.
