What this means

HORNCASTLE BATHS SLUICE WITS under test reads 26.85 m as of 20 Oct 2026, 11:30 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 26.81 m and 26.87 m.

Over the past seven days the change adds up to +0.02 m.

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

Key numbers

Lowest and highest in 30 days: 26.81 m – 26.87 m

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.
