25 years	140.7 mm (5.5 in)
50 years	167.5 mm (6.6 in)
100 years	197.9 mm (7.8 in)	Longer than the 91 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, 91 years of values from 1921 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: 209.6 mm (8.3 in) in 1980; 204.2 mm (8.0 in) in 1930; 197.4 mm (7.8 in) in 2025.

Station Changes

2 suspected

2 changes were suspected in the annual mean temperature of Paint Rock, at 1986 and 2005. Each is measured against neighbouring stations.

Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 1986 ran 0.4 C (0.7 F) lower than in the years before (likely change).
Relative to 5 neighbouring stations, the station's annual mean temperature from 2005 ran 0.4 C (0.6 F) lower than in the years before (possible change).

Suspected changes in the annual mean temperature at Paint Rock, against neighbouring stations
Year	Shift (C)	Shift (F)	Strength	Neighbours
1986	-0.4	-0.7	likely	5
2005	-0.3	-0.6	possible	5

Possible change at the station (a move, a new instrument or a new site); the record is kept as measured. A "likely" change has a larger test statistic than a "possible" one. Neither says why the station differs from its neighbours. How changes are found, and the largest ones.
