<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>It is shown that the probability <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> that the annual maximum value of a meteorological element is less than a given value <jats:italic>x</jats:italic> can be expressed as exp <jats:disp-formula> <jats:graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" position="anchor" xlink:href="urn:x-wiley:00359009:media:QJ49708134804:nueq001"><jats:alt-text>equation image</jats:alt-text></jats:graphic> </jats:disp-formula> where <jats:italic>a</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>k</jats:italic> are constants such that <jats:italic>ak</jats:italic> is positive.</jats:p><jats:p>The parameters <jats:italic>a</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>k</jats:italic> can be evaluated from data of annual maximum values for a given period of years. Hence we derive the average highest and lowest in sets of <jats:italic>T</jats:italic> annual maxima, and also the maximum value to be expected once in <jats:italic>T</jats:italic> years.</jats:p>
