What this means
Low water at Sattasjoki: the gauge reads 193.23 m, below normal for mid-October.
That puts it 0.04 m below the median of 193.27 m for mid-October, based on 8 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 193.21 m (+0.02 m).
It is still going down, by 0.14 m over the past week. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 193.23 m – 193.55 m.
Early autumn is often low-water season on rivers, until steadier rain returns.
