Chippenham Gate water level

What this means

Chippenham Gate is running below normal at 43.16 m.

The median for mid-October is 43.20 m, based on 16 years of readings, so the river level is 0.04 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 43.15 m, a difference of +0.01 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 43.10 m and 43.18 m.

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