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.

In a typical year this gauge reaches its typical high of 11.24 m on about 57 days. This year so far: 50 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. The darker part is days above 22.46 m, the level this gauge tops only a few days a year.

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 Bishopstone 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 0.48m, which is within the typical range of 0.00 to 11.24m. Flooding is unlikely at this level.
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.
The typical range at this station is 0.00m to 11.24m, based on Environment Agency historical data. Levels above 11.24m 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.
