What this means
The Little Current River at Percy Lake is running below normal at 27.43 m.
The median for mid-October is 28.07 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the water level is 0.64 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 27.80 m, a difference of −0.37 m.
It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 27.42 m and 27.56 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
