Each one is saved as its own alert — pause or remove them individually any time.
Not an emergency service — if in danger call 999. Alerts rely on EA/SEPA/NRW data and are best-efforts. Terms
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.
16 more within 6 km whose connection is not known.
5 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 →

This gauge rarely reaches its typical high of 4.48 m: 0 days since 2017. This year so far: 0 days.
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.
Official Environment Agency warnings issued since 2012 for the 10 flood areas linked to this gauge (nearest 1.2 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 Bentley Ings Screen flood history.
Flood warnings and alerts are issued for whole areas. These are the 10 areas linked to this gauge, nearest first.
The current level is 2.45m, which is below the typical range. Flooding is very 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.
The typical range at this station is 2.62m to 4.48m, based on Environment Agency historical data. Levels above 4.48m 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.
