    The document discusses methods for calculating the return period or recurrence interval of storms. The return period is the number of years within which a given storm may be equaled or exceeded, and is the reciprocal of the probability of an event. The document provides two formulas for calculating return period using the Weibull and Hazen methods, which both involve dividing the total number of events by the order number of the event.

    Number of years within which a given storm may equal or exceeded is known as return
    period or recurrence interval.

    Return period or recurrence interval is reciprocal of probability (P), so

    1
    T=
    P

    m
    Where P =
    n

    m-order number of event


    n -Total number of events

    Return period using Weibull method

    n+1
    T=
    m

    Return period using Hazen method

    n
    T=
    m−0.5
