River Conditions

[boatone]

We seem to have lost our "Sticky" re Thames Conditions but the latest at 11:18 this morning is that, although there are currently no boards out below Boveney, upriver is all yellows increasing with several reds above Osney but also including Temple to Marlow.

Outlook is for further increases in river flow.

The river seems to be flowing down our high street and we are 650 feet above sea level!

There has been a huge amount of rain up here, (Wiltshire), today. It is standing in great puddles and ponds on the hill tops.

Lechlade to Oxford is now all red boards but for Northmoor to Pinkhill and that's got to change soon I'm sure.

Why not use the reinstated thread?

'cos we had to answer B1's post otherwise he feels neglected

Cos this is chit-chat and the sticky is for specific information

Flooded again at Buscot today. All this will go downstream - so another weekend stuck in the marina. Soooo boring. Might as well buy a caravan

Well, better make sure you get one that floats

Some people would call that a Sealine

Video, taken on my phone, Radcot at about 15:30 today.

Those familiar with the area will know this is appreciably higher and faster than usual. BUT most of the surrounding fields are under water so I guess it will get higher...


P.S. If I click the picture the video works here - does it work for you?

Thanks David. I didn't realise I'd given access to every pic there but I've already bored the forum with most of the others anyway. Goodness know why I took and uploaded a picture of that pasta though!

I had to drive over Clifton Hampden bridge this afternoon and its well out into the fields ,Goring concrete walkway looked to be a couple of inches from disappearing from view and she still appears to be on the up .

A friend of mine in Lechlade has just e-mailed a picture taken today. He was standing on Ha'Penny Bridge and looking downstream. The second picture is the same view from July, (with Moxon being the last but one boat on the right hand bank):

Would anyone care to speculate how the river level may change in the next 48 hours?

 

[teddington_lock]

Upwards

 

[Mirror Painter]

Upwards

Continually over the next 48 hours?

 

[teddington_lock]

Have you seen the weather forecast for tomorrow?

 

[Mirror Painter]

Yes
