A day with at least 61.0 mm (2.4 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 168.4 mm (6.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Hardy: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	61.0 mm (2.4 in)
5 years	82.7 mm (3.3 in)
10 years	99.5 mm (3.9 in)
25 years	124.1 mm (4.9 in)
50 years	145.0 mm (5.7 in)
100 years	168.4 mm (6.6 in)	Longer than the 55 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, 55 years of values from 1919 to 2009.

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: 162.6 mm (6.4 in) in 1919; 147.8 mm (5.8 in) in 1958; 137.2 mm (5.4 in) in 2003.
