What this means
Trout Beck at Warwick Bridge is running at a record low at 0.00 m.
No reading on record has been lower: the old record low was 0.08 m, from October 24, 2020. The usual range here runs from 0.10 m to 0.50 m.
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between −0.02 m and 0.15 m.
Autumn rain usually starts to lift rivers again after the summer low.
