What this means

Low water at Churchill River English Point: the gauge reads −0.21 m, far below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 2.15 m below the median of 1.95 m for mid-October, based on 16 years of readings.

It is still going down, by 0.25 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is −0.55 m – 0.56 m.

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