What this means

At 0.09 m, Cragg Brook at Mytholmroyd Dauber Bridge is far below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 0.17 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the river level is 0.09 m below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 0.19 m, a difference of −0.10 m. The lowest reading on record is 0.03 m (July 11, 2010).

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 0.07 m and 0.24 m.

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