What this means

The Southwest Miramichi River at Blackville is running far below normal at 0.57 m.

That puts it 0.39 m below the median of 0.96 m for late October, based on 15 years of readings.

It has dropped 0.04 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.42 m and 0.66 m.

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