Hexham water level

What this means

At 31.11 m, the River Tyne at Hexham is far below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 31.34 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the river level is 0.23 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 31.19 m, a difference of −0.07 m. The lowest reading on record is 30.81 m (June 22, 2003).

The level is falling, down 0.02 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 30.79 m and 31.49 m.

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