River Cam: water levels along the river

7 gauges report along the River Cam. 4 are below normal for the date and 1 is above. Low water clearly outweighs high water at the moment.

On this page the river runs through Cambridgeshire, Essex, Gloucestershire and Somerset. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Autumn is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.
