"not very accurate" is not the same as "not possible", which was the bit I was challenging.
And working out the possible size of an extreme rainfall event isn't quite as complex as working out the amount of rainfall on a particular day. You don't need to model what's actually happening to cause the weather, you simply need a distribution that fits the observed frequencies of amounts of rainfall over as long a period as you have data for.
