222.1 mm (8.7 in)
Longer than the 98 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, 98 years of values from 1927 to 2024.
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: 240.0 mm (9.4 in) in 1989; 203.7 mm (8.0 in) in 2019; 179.3 mm (7.1 in) in 2018.
Station Changes
3 suspected
3 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Torrevieja, at 1964, 1977 and 2003. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1977 ran 0.6 C (1.1 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2003 ran 0.6 C (1.0 F) higher than in the years before (likely change).

Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.
