Levels are metres above each gauge's own zero (tidal stations: metres above sea level, 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.

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 the Environment Agency in England. Floodline is 0345 988 1188, 24 hours a day. This site does not issue warnings.
