What this means

The Danes Stream at New Valley Road is running at a record low at −0.02 m.

No reading on record has been lower: the old record low was 0.01 m, from August 19, 2009. The usual range here runs from 0.02 m to 0.75 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 −0.02 m and 0.01 m.

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

Fishing and paddling

At low levels, many rivers become a walk-and-paddle trip. Fish hold in deeper pools and spook easily.

Flood alerts and warnings come from the Environment Agency.
