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 28 days, mostly in November to February and September, but didn’t reach the level where it’s usually properly flooded.
At its highest the river stayed 7 cm below the level where the path usually floods properly.
From this gauge’s own record over the year to June 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 tree-lined riverside routes on both banks of the Ouse south of York city centre, linking Skeldergate and Blue Bridge to the Millennium Bridge — a busy commuter cycling corridor towards Bishopthorpe. Both banks flood whenever the Ouse overtops, cutting access to the Millennium Bridge, and the council lists both among paths regularly unusable at high levels.
