What this means

The Office of Public Works (waterlevel.ie) has the Glen at Gleann Beag at 0.19 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 0.12 m – 0.20 m.

Over the past seven days the change adds up to +0.01 m.
