The agency publishes no normal range for this gauge yet, so we show the trend only. How to read levels

Key numbers

Same day last year: 0.34 m−0.15 m
Lowest and highest in 30 days: 0.19 m – 0.24 m
Lowest and highest in 12 months: 0.20 m – 0.54 m

Fishing and paddling

Watch the direction of travel. A rising river after rain behaves very differently from one that is dropping and clearing.

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