History
Not enough readings for a chart yet. History builds up with every update.
What this means
At 2.26 m, the Raba at Dobczyce is below normal for mid-October.
It is 3.74 m below the flood level of 6.00 m. The median for mid-October is 2.44 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the river level is 0.18 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 2.21 m, a difference of +0.05 m.
Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 2.25 m and 2.26 m.
Early autumn is often low-water season on rivers, until steadier rain returns.
