Provender Mill water level

What this means

At 35.10 m, the River Arun at Provender Mill is far below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.18 m below the median of 35.28 m for mid-October, based on 20 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 35.17 m (−0.07 m). The lowest reading on record is 34.30 m (January 5, 2016).

The level is falling, down 0.06 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 34.68 m and 35.21 m.

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