How often this river runs high

In a typical year this gauge reaches its typical high of 6.06 m on about 28 days. This year so far: 0 days.

2026 0 days so far
2025 0 days patchy data
2024 52 days
2023 0 days
2022 0 days
2021 61 days, 20 of them high · 20 high

Counted from each day's highest reading. Days with missing or implausible readings are left out, so a year marked patchy may have run high more often than shown. The darker part is days above 6.47 m, the level this gauge tops only a few days a year.
