In a vacuum it would give you more of a sense about how much of an outlier this year was. But obviously enough other things have changed over the last 50 years that the numbers would stop being comparable. Perhaps looking at a 5 year sliding window to see how big the peaks usually are relative to their surrounding years could get at this with a bit less confounding.

- caddemon 5y agoUnless I'm missing something they only use a single 5 year window to look at the 2020 peak. I meant if you slide the window back over the past 50 years, what other peaks show up and how much larger are they then the other years in their window?
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoAh, I misunderstood your point. You're missing nothing.
