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.

Where is the level of the River Rother measured?
The Environment Agency measures the River Rother at 18 stations, including Burwash, Canklow Regulator, Catcliffe, Chesterfield Avenue Washlands and Chesterfield St Augustines. The stations are grouped by catchment, because more than one river can carry this name.
What is the normal level of the River Rother?
It depends on the station, because each gauge has its own zero. At Burwash the normal range is 0.02 m to 1.93 m, and the highest level on record there is 2.49 m (25 November 1982). The other stations are listed on this page with their own ranges.
Does a high river level mean there is a flood warning?

Flood warnings and flood alerts are issued separately by the Environment Agency in England, Natural Resources Wales and SEPA in Scotland, and this site lists England's on its flood warnings pages. Floodline is 0345 988 1188, 24 hours a day.
