A day with at least 32.8 mm (1.3 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 90.5 mm (3.6 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Steytlerville (Mag): the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	32.8 mm (1.3 in)
5 years	46.0 mm (1.8 in)
10 years	55.6 mm (2.2 in)
25 years	68.8 mm (2.7 in)
50 years	79.3 mm (3.1 in)
100 years	90.5 mm (3.6 in)

The levels come from a generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution fitted by L-moments to the wettest-day total of each year, 105 years of values from 1893 to 1997.

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: 91.4 mm (3.6 in) in 1905; 85.5 mm (3.4 in) in 1981; 75.2 mm (3.0 in) in 1951.
