What this means

The Environment Agency has Litton Lane at 35.10 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 35.10 m – 35.16 m.

Over the past seven days the change adds up to 0.00 m.
