What this means

At 0.13 m, the River Neet at Woolstone Mill is below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.05 m below the median of 0.18 m for mid-October, based on 21 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.10 m (+0.03 m).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 0.10 m and 0.21 m.

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