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.

Quick pick:
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.

Experimental model fusing soil moisture, river flow, groundwater and catchment
character. The shaded band is its 10–90% range, widened so that about 80% of recent outcomes fall inside it.
Under evaluation — not yet promoted, so treat as a second opinion.
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.
391 storm overflows are traced upstream of this gauge, the nearest 11.2 km away along the river. 0 report discharging now, 354 report not discharging, and for 37 the monitor is offline or has not reported, so their status is not known.

Not discharging now
2 other overflows within 6 km are downstream of this gauge or on another branch of the river network, so they are not listed.
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 →

Flood history near this gauge
Official Environment Agency warnings issued since 2008 for the 12 flood
areas linked to this gauge (nearest 0.8 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.
