The river’s sitting low in this gauge’s usual range.
This flood line starts from this gauge’s measured history — the level the river only tops a few days a year. Reports of a flooded or passable day will tune it to the path itself.
Through the year
Over the past year the river reached the level where parts of this path can start to flood on about 9 days, mostly in November to December and February, but didn’t reach the level where it’s usually properly flooded.
At its highest the river stayed 21 cm below the level where the path usually floods properly.
From this gauge’s own record over the year to July 2026, measured against the level we estimate this path floods at. It’s a guide to the season, not a forecast.
About this path
The quayside promenade either side of Bewdley Bridge, lined with pubs and houses, carrying the Severn Way through town. One of the most frequently flooded streetscapes on the Severn: demountable barriers have gone up on Severnside 29 times since 2006, and the riverside walk is impassable whenever they are deployed.
