Aire and Calder catchment
• North Yorkshire • ID: L1811 • Level
This gauge is tidally influenced — levels rise and fall with each tide, so rapid changes here
are normal and don't necessarily indicate flooding.
⚙ Tidally influenced - confirmed by cross-correlation with a nearby tide gauge (auto-classifier missed it). Excluded from rising-rivers rankings and the prediction models.

EA forecast (official)
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.
Geographic coordinates may reflect the access point for the gauge, and not the precise location in the watercourse that it is taking readings from.
