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.
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.
Questions
Is the River Tame high right now?

Where is the level of the River Tame measured?
The Environment Agency measures the River Tame at 16 stations, including Bescot, Brookvale Road, Broomstairs Bridge, Delph and Elford. The stations are grouped by catchment, because more than one river can carry this name.
What is the normal level of the River Tame?
It depends on the station, because each gauge has its own zero. At Bescot the normal range is 0.32 m to 1.25 m, and the highest level on record there is 3.51 m (15 June 2007). The other stations are listed on this page with their own ranges.
Does a high river level mean there is a flood warning?
