Geographic coordinates may reflect the access point for the gauge, and not the precise location in the watercourse that it is taking readings from.
The latest recorded level is 0.05m. Compare it with the recent history on the chart above to judge whether levels are unusually high.
Based on the most recent readings, the level is currently steady. The chart above shows the last 7 days of measurements, updated roughly every 15 minutes.
Readings are taken by the Environment Agency gauge roughly every 15 minutes and FloodRadar refreshes its data continuously, so the level shown is normally less than an hour old.
