What this means

At 0.99 m, the Seton River near Lillooet is below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.03 m below the median of 1.02 m for mid-October, based on 16 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.99 m as well.

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 0.97 m and 1.00 m.

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