River Wansbeck: water levels along the river

We have 3 gauges on the River Wansbeck. 1 of them reads below normal for the date, and none is running high.

The gauges are in Northumberland. 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.
