You'll be notified when this gauge is rising more than 0.10 m/hr — a sign of rapidly increasing water levels.
You'll be notified when a new storm-overflow (sewage) discharge starts within ~3 km of this gauge, based on the water companies' near-real-time feeds.

River Flow
90 days
Daily mean discharge (m³/s) with the daily min–max band, from the EA Hydrology API. Flow is the volume of water passing the gauge — often a more direct flood signal than level.

Storm overflows whose water reaches this gauge on the mapped river network, nearest first by distance along the river. The status is each water company's monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, not how much or what it contains.
1 storm overflow is traced upstream of this gauge, the nearest 12.0 km away along the river. 0 report discharging now, 1 reports not discharging.

These are the water companies' monitor statuses; a spill does not by itself explain a change in the gauge level. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels. Explore the sewage map →

The darker part is days above 1.64 m, the level this gauge tops only a few days a year.
Flood history near this gauge
Official Environment Agency warnings issued since 2010 for the 5 flood
areas linked to this gauge (nearest 5.2 km away).
Warnings apply to a whole flood area, not necessarily this exact spot. Years before 2006 aren't covered by the EA's historic record.

🌊 Mixed responseA balance of quick runoff and slower groundwater baseflow.
Your catchment is all the land that drains rainfall into the river above this gauge. Its character — how
steep, wet, wooded, urban or chalky that land is — decides how fast rain here turns into a rising river. A steep, bare or clay
catchment is “flashy” (rises and falls quickly, floods easily); a flat, chalk or well-wooded one is
slow and steady. The tiles below put numbers to that; the flow-duration curve reads left-to-right
from the river’s typical high flows (Q5) down to its low flows (Q95) — a steep curve means a flashy river.

About this gauge
Flat-V weir under the jurisdiction of the Market Weighton Internal Drainage Board.
More detail
The catchment
The headwaters of the Foulness are fed by springs on the scarp slope of the Yorkshire Wolds. Land use: arable.
The station
Flat-V weir, badly affected by weed growth in the summer. Under the jurisdiction of the Market Weighton Internal Drainage Board.
How it measures flow
Unsuitable for high flows but generally reasonable for low flows.
The flow record
Data missing December 2013, March 2014 and April 2014 due to construction work on an eel pass.
Timing, not cause. Gauges can move together simply because the same rain fell on both.
