24–31 OctNo classesHeight is each gauge against its OWN normal — the 90 days ending a month ago, so the water it is being compared with is not this event. The dotted line is that normal, the next line up its 90th percentile. Not metres, which differ by gauge. Colour is the flood class it has crossed. Dashed ring = too little record to place.
