A summary analysis of 14 locations across Ontario found that storms were most frequent in Thunder Bay and least frequent in Toronto; there is a ~50% chance of rainfall occurring again within 48 hours (Thunder Bay) to 72 hours (Toronto).

It is not anticipated that recent incremental changes to our climate will have significantly impacted this broad window of recommended drainage times.
