Hull and East Riding catchment
• Wilfholme PS • East Riding of Yorkshire • ID: L3231 • Level

are normal and don't necessarily indicate flooding.
(34m ago) • 3 readings/hr • 157 views
⚠
Sensor data may be unreliable — recent readings are physically implausible
for this gauge (far outside its normal range). Treat the level shown with caution; the EA
may be reporting a faulty sensor.

Flood predictions aren't generated for
tidal gauges —
their levels are driven by the tide,
not by catchment rainfall, so the forecast models would have no skill here.
