What this means
At 181.08 m, the Kelukoski is far below normal for mid-October.
The median for mid-October is 181.19 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the river level is 0.11 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 181.18 m, a difference of −0.10 m.
The level is falling, down 0.12 m over the past week. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 181.08 m and 181.23 m.
Early autumn is often low-water season on rivers, until steadier rain returns.
