Frequently asked questions
Is the River Tyne at Hexham flooding today?
The current level is 31.15m, which is below the typical range. Flooding is very unlikely at this level.
Is the river level rising or falling at Hexham?
Based on the most recent readings, the level is currently steady. The chart above shows the last 12 hours of measurements by default (up to 7 days), updated roughly every 15 minutes.
What is a normal level for the River Tyne at Hexham?
The typical range at this station is 31.17m to 33.30m, based on Environment Agency historical data. Levels above 33.30m are higher than usually seen and may indicate a flood risk.
