Levels are metres above each gauge's own zero, 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. 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.
What high, normal and low mean
- High Above its normal range at that station.
- Normal Within its normal range at that station.
- Low Below its normal range at that station.
Flood warnings are separate
A river above its normal range is often not flooding anything. Flood warnings come from SEPA in Scotland. Floodline is 0345 988 1188, 24 hours a day. This site does not issue warnings.
