A day with at least 45.6 mm (1.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 91.8 mm (3.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at El Ocote: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	45.6 mm (1.8 in)
5 years	56.8 mm (2.2 in)
10 years	64.6 mm (2.5 in)
25 years	75.1 mm (3.0 in)
50 years	83.3 mm (3.3 in)	Longer than the 30 years of record
100 years	91.8 mm (3.6 in)	Longer than the 30 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, 30 years of values from 1981 to 2012.

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: 77.5 mm (3.1 in) in 2000; 74.2 mm (2.9 in) in 1987; 72.1 mm (2.8 in) in 1995.
