66 years, 1949 to 2025

A day with at least 73.6 mm (2.9 in) of rain is expected about once in 2 years. A day with at least 198.3 mm (7.8 in) of rain is expected about once in 100 years.

Rainfall return levels at Oxford Hydro STN: the daily rain expected about once in a given number of years
Expected about once in	A day with at least	Note
2 years	73.6 mm (2.9 in)
5 years	99.0 mm (3.9 in)
10 years	118.6 mm (4.7 in)
25 years	147.1 mm (5.8 in)
50 years	171.3 mm (6.7 in)
100 years	198.3 mm (7.8 in)	Longer than the 66 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, 66 years of values from 1949 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: 170.2 mm (6.7 in) in 2019; 167.6 mm (6.6 in) in 2024; 164.8 mm (6.5 in) in 1981.
