Geographic coordinates may reflect the access point for the gauge, and not the precise location in the watercourse that it is taking readings from.
Gauges connected to this river, and others nearby. A distance “by river” follows the river on the map; any other is in a straight line.
Distances by river: OS Open Rivers. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of this gauge on the mapped river network. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow. Those nearby are listed below.
Within 6 km in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water passes this gauge.
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 →

In a typical year this gauge reaches its typical high of 0.78 m on about 12 days. This year so far: 6 days.
Counted from each day's highest reading. Days with missing or implausible readings are left out. The darker part is days above 0.84 m, the level this gauge tops only a few days a year.
Official Environment Agency warnings issued since 2006 for the 9 flood areas linked to this gauge (nearest 0.6 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. See also the Repps flood history.
Flood warnings and alerts are issued for whole areas. These are the 9 areas linked to this gauge, nearest first.
The current level is 0.53m, which is within the typical range of 0.00 to 0.78m. Flooding is unlikely at this level.
Based on the most recent readings, the level is currently rising. The chart above shows the last 12 hours of measurements by default (up to 7 days), updated roughly every 15 minutes.
When little or no rain has fallen for a while, a river level gradually drops as the water stored in the ground and soil drains away with nothing to replace it. This is called baseflow recession and is normal in dry spells. Only about 2.9mm of rain has fallen nearby in the last 7 days, so the flow is being sustained mainly by groundwater. A gentle decline like this is expected and is not a sign of a problem — downstream gauges often recede a little faster than headwaters further upstream, and levels recover once rain returns.
The typical range at this station is 0.00m to 0.78m, based on Environment Agency historical data. Levels above 0.78m are higher than usually seen and may indicate a flood risk.
Readings are supplied by the Environment Agency gauge. FloodRadar checks for updates roughly every 15 minutes; the timestamp above shows how recent the latest available reading is.
