What this means

Sheffield Carr Brook Screen is running below normal at −0.01 m.

The median for mid-October is 0.02 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the river level is 0.02 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 0.00 m, a difference of −0.01 m.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between −0.01 m and 0.00 m.

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