Not enough readings for a chart yet. History builds up with every update.

What this means

The Office of Public Works (waterlevel.ie) has the Slaney at Rafter Bridge U/S at 0.69 m. There is no published reference for this river yet, so we can't say whether that is high or low for the season.

It is on the way up, by 0.06 m over the past 24 hours. The 30-day range is 0.28 m – 0.93 m.

The agency publishes no normal range for this gauge yet, so we show the trend only. How to read levels

For anglers and canoeists

Without a reference range, compare today with the chart: a sharp rise usually means coloured water.
