We have 58 gauges on the River Thames. 24 are below normal for the date and 8 above. The balance is tilted firmly towards low water.
The gauges on this page are spread across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. 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.
