What this means

The Martin at Kilmona Bridge is running below normal at 0.28 m.

The usual range here runs from 0.31 m to 0.65 m.

It has dropped 0.01 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.28 m and 0.30 m.

Autumn rain usually starts to lift rivers again after the summer low.

Compared with the normal range the agency publishes for this gauge. How to read levels

Key numbers

Normal range: 0.31 m – 0.65 m

Fishing and paddling

At low levels, many rivers become a walk-and-paddle trip. Fish hold in deeper pools and spook easily.

Flood alerts and warnings come from the OPW and Met Éireann.
