Levels are in metres as published by the Environment Agency, copied from their real-time service every 15 minutes and kept for 35 days. The shaded band is the Environment Agency's typical range for the gauge: its top is a level exceeded for 5% of the time on record and its bottom a level exceeded for 95% of the time. "Highest recent" is the highest reading in recent times (typically the last 5 years). Trend compares the newest reading with one up to 45 minutes earlier: more than 2 cm an hour is rising or falling. NRW river levels in Wales are not on River Truth yet. A gauge is marked irregular when, in the last 24 hours, its readings jump by more than half a metre (or half the typical range, if wider) three or more times, or sit on one value while some readings differ by that much; we show its latest published level but no trend or range position, and never change the readings.
