What this means

Beverley Brook at Motspur Park is running below normal at 0.89 m.

The median for mid-October is 0.92 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the river level is 0.03 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 0.90 m, a difference of −0.01 m.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 0.78 m and 0.97 m.

Autumn rain usually starts to lift rivers again after the summer low.

Flood alerts and warnings come from the Environment Agency.
