North Cave water level

What this means

Low water at North Cave: the gauge reads 0.12 m, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.03 m below the median of 0.16 m for mid-October, based on 21 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.12 m as well.

It is still going down, by 0.01 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 0.12 m – 0.15 m.

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