What this means

Kyre Brook at Tenbury is running below normal at 0.10 m.

The median for mid-October is 0.14 m, based on 18 years of readings, so the river level is 0.04 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 0.14 m, a difference of −0.04 m.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.04 m and 0.11 m.

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

Flood alerts and warnings come from the Environment Agency.
