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.
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.

Storm overflows whose water reaches this gauge on the mapped river network, nearest first by distance along the river. The status is each water company's monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, not how much or what it contains.
102 storm overflows are traced upstream of this gauge, the nearest 12.9 km away along the river. 4 report discharging now, 97 report not discharging, and for 1 the monitor is offline or has not reported, so their status is not known.
94 more further upstream, up to 220.2 km away along the river.
Also discharging now further upstream: Llanyre WwTW Overflow (195.9 km), Llanwrtyd Wells Storm Overflow (197.2 km), Abernant Lake Storm Overflow (198.8 km), Llangurig Storm Overflow (218.7 km).
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. Sewage & storm overflows →

In a typical year this gauge reaches its typical high of 7.92 m on about 25 days. This year so far: 11 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 2008 for the 6 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.
Flood warnings and alerts are issued for whole areas. These are the 6 areas linked to this gauge, nearest first.
The current level is 3.05m, which is within the typical range of 2.27 to 7.92m. Flooding is unlikely at this level.
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 0.0mm 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 2.27m to 7.92m, based on Natural Resources Wales historical data. Levels above 7.92m are higher than usually seen and may indicate a flood risk.
