History

Not enough readings for a chart yet. History builds up with every update.

What this means

Environment Agency has the River Exe at Topsham at 0.89 m. There is no published reference for this river yet, so we can't say whether that is high or low for the season.

The 30-day range is 0.89 m – 1.18 m.

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

For anglers and canoeists

Without a reference range, compare today with the chart: a sharp rise usually means coloured water.

Many angling and canoe clubs check gauges like this one before heading out.
