River Thames: water levels along the river

We have 58 gauges on the River Thames. 25 are below normal for the date and 10 above. Low and high readings are fairly evenly spread.

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.
