What this means

The Environment Agency has Bungay Sluice at 3.81 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 has barely moved over the past 24 hours. The 30-day range is 3.79 m – 3.83 m.

Over the past seven days the change adds up to −0.02 m.

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