About River Severn at Mythe Bridge
River Severn at Mythe Bridge is a gauged river in England.
What the record shows
This station has 37 years on record, enough to show a broad spread between low summer water and the higher levels that arrive in other parts of the year. The record high was 5.43 m (17.82 ft) in July 2007, and the record low was -0.05 m (-0.17 ft) in August 2023. For anyone using a bank, slipway, or intake here, those two marks show the range the river has already reached at this point on the channel.
The seasonal pattern is clear as well. The highest month is January at 1.58 m (5.19 ft), while the lowest month is July at 0.43 m (1.41 ft). The typical annual swing is 1.15 m (3.8 ft). That is a useful figure for planning around summer drafts, moorings, and shallow edges, because the river can sit well below its winter level before the year turns again.
The watershed
With no watershed named for this page, the record here is best read as a guide to this reach of the river and its seasonal rhythm. January is the month when levels are typically highest, while July is the month when they are typically lowest. That pattern fits a temperate river: higher water in the colder, wetter part of the year, and lower water through summer.
For local use, that means conditions can change through the year even when the river looks familiar from one visit to the next. The numbers above are the best guide on this page to how far the level has moved at this station.
Reading the hero number
The hero number on this page is today’s reading set against the median for this calendar day across the station record. That is more useful than raw elevation because it shows whether today sits above or below what is typical for this date, not just how high the staff or gauge happens to read. At a station with 37 years on record, that daily comparison is a better signal for anglers, cottagers, and anyone watching access or water levels.
Data on this station are from the Environment Agency.
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.
How Nibi Metrics works · Water stories
Nibi Metrics - live water levels, flow, and forecasts for lakes and rivers across Canada, the US and the UK
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada, the US and the UK. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics tracks more than 13,000 gauged lakes and rivers across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, reading directly from official federal monitoring networks: the Water Survey of Canada, the United States Geological Survey, Quebec's provincial hydrometric network, and the Environment Agency for England. Every number on the platform is measured, not modelled - taken from a government gauge on the water itself and compared against that location's own historical record for this exact date.
What you can see for any monitored lake or river
The level right now, in feet or metres, updated as the source agency publishes new readings - for many stations that is every five to fifteen minutes. How today compares to typical: every location carries its own typical-for-this-date band built from its historical record, so a reading is never just a number - it is above, below, or near what this water usually does on this calendar day. Which way it is moving: a measured RISING, FALLING, or STEADY verdict computed from the gauge's own recent readings, with the rate of change - the difference between a flood ending and one beginning. What comes next: level forecasts up to 72 hours ahead, driven by the gauge's recent behaviour, upstream water, and quantitative precipitation forecasts, alongside live radar, lightning, and weather for the surrounding region.
Alerts that watch the water for you
Set a threshold on any location - a level, a distance above typical, or a rate of climb - and Nibi emails or notifies you the moment the gauge crosses it. Cottagers use it for spring freshet, anglers for river conditions, marinas and municipalities for operations. The scanning runs around the clock against the same measured data shown on every page.
Where Nibi comes from
Nibi means water in Anishinaabemowin. The platform began at a family cottage on Lake Muskoka, Ontario, where the spring melt floods the shoreline most years and the only forecast was standing on the dock, looking, and guessing. It grew into an independent, member-funded platform run by Muskoka Research Inc. - no investors, no data resale, and a privacy policy shorter than most cookie banners. The core data is free for everyone, forever; paid plans add automation like multi-location alerts, deep history, and reports.
Coverage
Nibi spans the continent: every Canadian province and territory with active federal gauges - from Vancouver Island rivers to the Muskoka lakes, prairie reservoirs, and Quebec's hydrometric network - and the United States from Maine to the Texas Hill Country, the Ohio Valley, and the Pacific Northwest. Coverage grows where the water news is: when a basin floods, its gauges join the platform with their full historical records attached. Many stations report every five to fifteen minutes; most report at least hourly; every page states exactly when its gauge last spoke.
Free forever, funded by members
The core promise is simple: the water data is free, for everyone, forever. Live levels, maps, radar, and recent history never sit behind a paywall. Paid plans fund the platform by adding automation - multi-location alerts, decades of history, longer forecasts, and PDF reports - so the people who need more carry the cost for everyone who just needs to check the lake before driving up. There are no investors and no advertising deals shaping what the data says.
