Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	19.4 mm (0.8 in)
5 years	26.2 mm (1.0 in)
10 years	31.1 mm (1.2 in)
25 years	37.6 mm (1.5 in)
50 years	42.8 mm (1.7 in)	Longer than the 39 years of record
100 years	48.2 mm (1.9 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 1943 to 1992.

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: 49.5 mm (1.9 in) in 1984; 33.0 mm (1.3 in) in 1992; 32.4 mm (1.3 in) in 1986.
