| Station | Level now | Status |

| Pontneddfechan River Station | 0.64 m 32m ago | Within its typical range |
Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Mellte above one of its gauges, from the source down. The river map knows where gauges are, not every stream, so a tributary without a gauge is not listed here.
Joins the Mellte above Pontneddfechan River Station, its highest gauge, no more than 10.0 km by river above Pontneddfechan River Station.
| Esgair Carnau River Station | 0.36 m 17m ago | Within its typical range |
Its water passes every gauge on the Mellte, from Pontneddfechan River Station down.
Below Pontneddfechan River Station, its water next reaches Glyn Neath River Station, a gauge on Neath, 3.9 km by river downstream.
Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge.

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Pontneddfechan River Station on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.
3 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Mellte’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.
A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.
