What this means

Low water at Beverley Shipyard: the gauge reads 1.33 m, far below normal.

The usual range here runs from 1.52 m to 3.50 m. The lowest reading on record is 1.17 m (September 22, 2015).

It is still going down, by 0.03 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 1.23 m – 2.59 m.

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

For anglers and canoeists

Low rivers are hard going for paddlers, with exposed gravel and weirs that are awkward to shoot. Salmon and sea trout usually wait for the next spate to run.

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

About the River Hull

The River Hull is a navigable river in the East Riding of Yorkshire in Northern England. It rises from a series of springs to the west of Driffield, and enters the Humber Estuary at Kingston upon Hull. Following a period when the Archbishops of York charged tolls for its use, it became a free navigation. The upper reaches became part of the Driffield Navigation from 1770, after which they were again subject to tolls, and the section within the city of Hull came under the jurisdiction of the Port of Hull, with the same result.
