River Nene: water levels along the river

We have 16 gauges on the River Nene. 2 of them read below normal for the date, and none is running high.

The gauges on this page are spread across Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Autumn is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.
