Nibi Metrics
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada and the US. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics turns raw gauge readings from official hydrometric networks into something a person standing on a dock can actually use: is the water high or low for today, which way is it moving, and how unusual is this? This page explains where every number on the platform comes from and what we do to it along the way.

About Humber River at Weston
Humber River - A vital waterway in the Humber - Don watershed.
The Humber River at Weston plays an essential role in the natural hydrology of its region, serving as a significant tributary within the Humber - Don watershed system. Boasting an expansive drainage area of approximately 804 square kilometres, this river supports a diverse ecological network while feeding into the greater system of interconnected waterways.
The watershed context
This section of the Humber River is influenced by classic snowmelt-driven seasonal hydrology. Each spring, the late April to May freshet transforms the river's landscape, as melting snow cascades down from higher elevations, swelling its banks and invigorating the local ecosystem. As summer approaches, typical drawdown occurs between July and September, driven by evaporative loss and reduced inflow, which shapes the river's flow patterns during warmer months. This natural cycle prepares the river for early-winter declines as ice begins to form, creating a steady rhythm that defines the area's hydrological framework.
Adjacent to the Humber, various streams and rivers, including Black Creek and the branches of the Don River, contribute to a rich web of waterways that define this urban landscape. The synergy between these water bodies provides critical habitats for a multitude of species while also supporting recreational activities and natural resource management.
Why the data matters here
The monitoring data from the Humber River at Weston helps local cottagers, anglers, and environmental enthusiasts understand the river's dynamic behavior throughout the year. The stream gauge records both water levels and discharge, providing invaluable insight into water availability and river conditions.
Today's reading is particularly important when compared against the historical median for this calendar day over the span of 49 years, as maintained by the Water Survey of Canada. This comparison allows stakeholders to assess the river's current status relative to historical norms, facilitating informed decisions regarding water use, recreational activities, and conservation efforts. Monitoring trends such as these is essential for ensuring the health of the Humber River and its surrounding ecosystems.
How this page is built
Readings come from official government gauges and are rolled into daily records: the daily mean, high and low for every day on record. Each calendar day gets its own baseline from the full history, so the level you see is compared against what this specific date usually looks like rather than an annual average.
