What this means

Kingsclere Brook at Kingsclere is running below normal at 0.08 m.

The median for mid-October is 0.10 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the river level is 0.02 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 0.10 m, a difference of −0.02 m.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.08 m and 0.10 m.

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