52 years, 1934 to 1988

A day with at least 68.2 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 120.9 mm (4.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at New Harmony: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	68.2 mm (2.7 in)
5 years	85.9 mm (3.4 in)
10 years	96.0 mm (3.8 in)
25 years	107.2 mm (4.2 in)
50 years	114.4 mm (4.5 in)
100 years	120.9 mm (4.8 in)	Longer than the 52 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, 52 years of values from 1934 to 1988.

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: 113.5 mm (4.5 in) in 1975; 108.2 mm (4.3 in) in 1977; 104.1 mm (4.1 in) in 1961.
