A day with at least 51.6 mm (2.0 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 144.6 mm (5.7 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Dailey 1 SE: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	51.6 mm (2.0 in)
5 years	68.6 mm (2.7 in)
10 years	82.6 mm (3.3 in)
25 years	103.8 mm (4.1 in)
50 years	122.7 mm (4.8 in)
100 years	144.6 mm (5.7 in)	Longer than the 51 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, 51 years of values from 1939 to 2007.

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: 145.3 mm (5.7 in) in 1985; 112.0 mm (4.4 in) in 1993; 107.7 mm (4.2 in) in 1954.
