EA River Level sites incorrect

[PaulJ]

All the EA sites seem to be showing the future since late last night!

Hopefully for all those watching Rivers at the moment, it will be up and running again soon..

I find Shoothill Gauge Maps better.

Despite it being at relatively normal levels the river is still on SSA

What do they know that we don't?

Quite high up this end, but the plants will be sucking it all up now.

That will be why, most of it still has to come down through here.

Every time I come to the boat with the intention of going out the river goes on SSA.

Maybe its trying to tell me something.

River gauges say normal but river still closed.

Theres a lot of water to get rid of in the washes, I suppose the flow is quite fast even if the levels are normal.

We thought that our days of river level watching were over when we sold the boat. How wrong we were 

 

In January the Ouse flooded in York a week before we were due to visit. We spent the week prior watching the webcams and hoping that the water receded enough that we could access the site which thankfully they did.

 

This week we have been watching river levels in Tewksbury instead. Last weekend the site there flooded after heavy rain further upstream. Again it looks like we will be able to set off tomorrow and actually get onto the site.

 

With our track record it will be Rother Valley's turn next

There is still quite a flow heading your way from Bedford so will be a bit yet..

The Nene was due to come off today, but last nights rain meant the auto telemetry says no for another couple of days.

From the EA.

Crossing The Nene at both Willy Watts and Ditchford today it all looked normal, however appearances can be deceptive.

River flows and levels are not always in sync.
