What this means
Low water at Welland River below Caistor Corners: the gauge reads 0.86 m, below normal for mid-October.
The median for mid-October is 0.93 m, based on 21 years of readings, so the water level is 0.07 m below typical. A year ago it stood at 0.86 m as well.
It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 0.85 m – 0.96 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
