Rainfall Return Levels

33 years, 1993 to 2025

A day with at least 72.2 mm (2.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 207.9 mm (8.2 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Little Red School House: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	72.2 mm (2.8 in)
5 years	101.3 mm (4.0 in)
10 years	123.2 mm (4.9 in)
25 years	154.2 mm (6.1 in)
50 years	179.9 mm (7.1 in)	Longer than the 33 years of record
100 years	207.9 mm (8.2 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 1993 to 2025.

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: 254.0 mm (10.0 in) in 1996; 127.5 mm (5.0 in) in 1993; 116.8 mm (4.6 in) in 2023.
