What high, normal and low mean

• High Above its normal range — the range the agency gives for that station.
• Normal Within its normal range — the range the agency gives for that station.
• Low Below its normal range — the range the agency gives for that station.
• Record high At or above the highest level the station has on record.

Levels are metres above each gauge's own zero (or above sea level, where marked AOD), so a number at one station cannot be compared with another. The trend compares the latest reading with one from at least 45 minutes earlier. Natural Resources Wales publishes no normal range in its open data, so Welsh stations show the level and trend only. SEPA's normal range for a station runs from the median yearly lowest level to the median yearly highest level, so a Scottish station called high is above the peak the river reaches in a typical year. That is a wider range than the Environment Agency's, so fewer Scottish stations are called high or low. Northern Ireland is not covered: see nidirect.

Questions

Are UK rivers high right now?

Yes, in places. 2 of the 2,412 river level stations in England, Wales and Scotland with a recent reading and a normal range are above their normal range (checked 7:47 pm UK time, 19 October).

What do high, normal and low mean?

Each Environment Agency station has a normal range: the levels the river is usually between at that place, set by the agency from the station's own records. High means the latest reading is above the top of that range, low means below the bottom of it. SEPA's normal range for a station runs from the median yearly lowest level to the median yearly highest level, so a Scottish station called high is above the peak the river reaches in a typical year. That is a wider range than the Environment Agency's, so fewer Scottish stations are called high or low. Natural Resources Wales does not publish a normal range in its open data, so Welsh stations show the level and trend only.

Is a high river a flood warning?

No. A river above its normal range is often not flooding anything, and flooding can happen without a river gauge rising. Flood warnings and alerts are issued by the Environment Agency in England, Natural Resources Wales and SEPA in Scotland. Floodline is 0345 988 1188, 24 hours a day.

Does this cover Scotland and Northern Ireland?

Scotland, yes: its river level stations come from SEPA (the Scottish Environment Protection Agency) with SEPA's own normal range for each. Northern Ireland, not yet: its river levels are published by the Department for Infrastructure.
