The next high tide at around 11pm this evening, Wednesday 2nd October, will prevent water moving downstream therefore maintaining high river levels in the Kirk Bramwith area.
Spring tide are dropping away, as the week progresses we will see a reduced tidal influence on the river levels at the bottom of the catchment.
