Fishing and paddling
Watch the direction of travel. A rising river after rain behaves very differently from one that is dropping and clearing.
Flood alerts and warnings come from the OPW and Met Éireann.
Weather at the gauge
Rain in the last 3 days: 11 mm. Rain that falls upstream can take hours or days to show up at a river gauge.
Forecast: Open-Meteo
