History
What this means
The Environment Agency has Kings Sedgemoor Drain at Dunball at 2.61 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 2.61 m – 2.63 m.
The agency publishes no normal range for this gauge yet, so we show the trend only. How to read levels
For anglers and canoeists
Without a reference range, compare today with the chart: a sharp rise usually means coloured water.
Many angling and canoe clubs check gauges like this one before heading out.
