Eynsham Lock River Level
Read from the Environment Agency flood-monitoring feed at 20 Sept, 14:34 UTC.
Is Eynsham Lock Above Its Typical Range?
Yes. At 1.773 m the reading is 1.40 m above the top of this gauge's typical range of 0.038 m to 0.37 m. A reading above its range does not by itself mean property will flood — the range describes what is usual here, not a flood threshold — but it is the point at which this gauge stops being unremarkable.
The highest level recorded here is 1.187 m (24 July 2007) , which is -0.59 m above today's reading . Today's reading is at or above it.

What It Means When A Gauge Reads Above Its Range
A typical range is a statement about what this gauge usually shows, worked out from its own history. Reading above it means the water is higher than usual for this point on the river. It is not a flood warning, and it is not a flood threshold: a flood warning is issued by the agency for a defined area, and it is the agency's warning — not a gauge reading — that says whether property is at risk.
