What this means

Low water at Pukaskwa River below Fox River: the gauge reads 3.95 m, below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 4.19 m, based on 20 years of readings, so the water level is 0.24 m below typical.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 3.65 m – 3.96 m.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
