What this means
The River Trent at Keadby reads −0.33 m as of 19 Oct 2026, 07:40 BST. There is no published reference for this tidal gauge yet, so we can't say whether that is high or low for the season.
It has risen 0.11 m over the past 24 hours. In the last month it has stayed between −0.70 m and 2.78 m.
The agency publishes no normal range for this gauge yet, so we show the trend only. How to read levels
About the River Trent
The Trent, the third-longest river in the United Kingdom, has its source in Staffordshire, on the southern edge of Biddulph Moor. It drains the North Midlands, eventually flowing into the Humber Estuary. The river is known for dramatic flooding after storms and spring snowmelt, which in the past have often caused its course to change.
