What this means
Brough Beck at Catterick Brough Park is running at a record low at 0.07 m.
No reading on record has been lower: the old record low was 0.10 m, from August 8, 2020. That puts it 0.19 m below the median of 0.25 m for mid-October, based on 10 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.16 m (−0.10 m).
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.06 m and 0.26 m.
Autumn rain usually starts to lift rivers again after the summer low.
