Rainfall Return Levels

33 years, 1983 to 2015

A day with at least 99.3 mm (3.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 262.0 mm (10.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Lufkin 11 NW: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	99.3 mm (3.9 in)
5 years	136.9 mm (5.4 in)
10 years	164.0 mm (6.5 in)
25 years	201.1 mm (7.9 in)
50 years	230.7 mm (9.1 in)	Longer than the 33 years of record
100 years	262.0 mm (10.3 in)	Longer than the 33 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, 33 years of values from 1983 to 2015.

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: 270.5 mm (10.6 in) in 1994; 189.5 mm (7.5 in) in 2012; 171.5 mm (6.8 in) in 1993.
