Short summary
We investigate how to make statistical predictions of extreme weather such that events predicted to occur with a probability of 1 % will occur 1 % of the time. We apply the methods we describe to a standard extreme weather attribution example from the recent climate literature. We find that the methods we describe imply that extremes are roughly twice as likely as when estimated using maximum likelihood. We have developed a software package to make it easy to apply these methods.
