Dryden Street water level

What this means

At 0.21 m, Shaw Brook Tributary at Dryden Street is below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 0.25 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the river level is 0.04 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 0.18 m, a difference of +0.03 m.

The level is falling, down 0.02 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 0.17 m and 0.38 m.

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