What this means

The River Hull at Hull Barrier Victoria Pier reads −0.72 m as of 21 Oct 2026, 07:45 BST. There is no published reference for this river yet, so we can't say whether that is high or low for the season.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. In the last month it has stayed between −0.74 m and 2.61 m.

Over the past seven days the change adds up to −2.36 m.

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

Fishing and paddling

Watch the direction of travel. A rising river after rain behaves very differently from one that is dropping and clearing.

Flood alerts and warnings come from the Environment Agency.

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.
