Surface elevation

What this means

The River Ouse at Goole reads −0.79 m as of 20 Oct 2026, 11:00 BST. There is no published reference for this river yet, so we can't say whether that is high or low for the season.

It has dropped 1.50 m over the past 24 hours. In the last month it has stayed between −1.07 m and 2.92 m.

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

Fishing and paddling

Watch the direction of travel. A rising river after rain behaves very differently from one that is dropping and clearing.

Flood alerts and warnings come from the Environment Agency.

About the River Ouse

The River Ouse is a river in North Yorkshire, England. Hydrologically, the river is a continuation of the River Ure, and the combined length of the River Ure and River Ouse makes it, at 129 miles (208 km), the sixth-longest river of the United Kingdom and the longest to flow entirely in one county. The length of the Ouse alone is about 52 miles (84 km) but the total length of the river is disputed.

Weather at the gauge

Rain in the last 3 days: 8.9 mm. Rain that falls upstream can take hours or days to show up at a river gauge.

How we check values

Each reading is stored as published. We hold back values that jump faster than physically plausible and show the measurement time with every value.
