What this means

Low water at West Humber River at Highway No. 7: the gauge reads 2.68 m, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.03 m below the median of 2.71 m for mid-October, based on 20 years of readings.

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 2.65 m – 2.94 m.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
