River level website - gaugemap.co.uk

Handy website now the winter is upon us, for river levels and flood alerts

 

No connection but I noticed in Canal Boating Times and its quite a handy website.

People probably already know about it but its the first time I've seen it.

Thanks Magnetman for giving me another time waster, along with Flight Radar 24 and the world shipping movements site!

 

Seriously though, there's no marker that I could see on the T&M/River Trent section near Alrewas, but no doubt that will be rectified in time.

I have been known to watch Fleetmon on my phone, live movements of container ships in and out of Tilbury. You can even see the tugs coming to help them and gradually maneouvering them into the docks. Its quite cool

just going to try something

OK so thats for embedding into a web page not a forum post.

Good to see Scotland and Ireland enjoying what I can only assume is a drought!

I think the EA site, an example here, http://apps.environment-agency.gov.uk/river-and-sea-levels/120744.aspx?stationId=2001 is much clearer with its information.It is updated every 3 hours as opposed to once a day.

I think you will find that the site in the OP is updated quicker than the EA site(quite often has 12 hour lags) and has more level stations on the same rivers.

Strange really, as they are using the same data source!!.

Does the EA site have a google maps overlay? I haven't noticed it

Agree, I find the presentation of the data is muddly. EA is better but it's not easy to put together in geographical order.

Gaugemap's ordering on the Severn is certainly not geographic, not much help.

 

I did my own web page for the Severn (and Avon) using EA data
