32 years, 1916 to 1960

A day with at least 38.3 mm (1.5 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 69.7 mm (2.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Eicks Rch: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	38.3 mm (1.5 in)
5 years	49.2 mm (1.9 in)
10 years	55.3 mm (2.2 in)
25 years	61.9 mm (2.4 in)
50 years	66.1 mm (2.6 in)	Longer than the 32 years of record
100 years	69.7 mm (2.7 in)	Longer than the 32 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, 32 years of values from 1916 to 1960.

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: 75.4 mm (3.0 in) in 1943; 58.4 mm (2.3 in) in 1934; 53.3 mm (2.1 in) in 1959.
