What this means

At 78.08 m, the Bourne Rivulet at St Mary Bourne is below normal for mid-October.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 78.08 m and 78.12 m.

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