What this means

The River Tyne at Corbridge is running far below normal at 0.19 m.

The median for mid-October is 0.40 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the river level is 0.20 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 0.27 m, a difference of −0.07 m. The lowest reading on record is 0.06 m (June 19, 2010).

It has dropped 0.03 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.16 m and 0.76 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.
