History
Not enough readings for a chart yet. History builds up with every update.
What this means
At 0.70 m, the Ślęza at Borów is far below normal for mid-October.
It is 0.90 m below the flood level of 1.60 m. The median for mid-October is 0.92 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the river level is 0.22 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 1.00 m, a difference of −0.30 m.
Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 0.70 m and 0.71 m.
Early autumn is often low-water season on rivers, until steadier rain returns.
