För tre år sedan drabbades Inger Nilsson i Kumla av ett regn som skapade översvämning i hennes hem, då sa man att det var ett hundraårsregn. Nu är hon drabbad igen.

2015 September 7, Johannes Weckström, “Drabbades för andra gången av ”hundraårsregn””, in SVT Nyheter, archived from the original on 19 Jul 2017:

Three years ago, Inger Nilsson in Kumla was affected by a rainstorm that caused flooding in her home, at the time described as a once-in-a-century downpour. Now it has happened again.

Hundraårsregnet – eller om man har riktig otur, tusenårsregnet – kan komma innan jobbet är klart. Det är en kamp mot klockan.

2021 August 1, “Så ska Stockholm skyddas mot hundraårsregn [How Stockholm plans to cope with once-in-a-century downpours]”, in Aftonbladet, sourced from TT News Agency, archived from the original on 23 Oct 2021:

The once-in-a-century rainstorm – or, with real misfortune, the once-in-a-millennium one – could strike before the work is finished. It's a race against time.
