What this means

Low water at Rio Guadiana near Guadiana, Naranjito: the gauge reads 1.63 ft, far below normal for late October.

The median for late October is 2.46 ft, based on 24 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.83 ft below typical. It is 6.62 ft below the flood stage of 8.25 ft. A year ago it stood at 1.63 ft as well.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 1.60 ft – 2.12 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
