February 2024
Moderate flooding.
Extensive flooding at Sandford Mill and across the Meads. But it can get much deeper than this. This is the flood where we took videos showing the storm drain not working, either side of the A12, and interviewed Graham.

Several videos available for this flood, including some taken by us, showing flood water not flowing into the storm drain, and the field to the west of the A12 being underwater while the field to the east is dry.

37002 - Chelmer at Rushes Lock
A useful station due to data availability back to 1932. However, flow data is inacurate at low and high readings, due to bypassing which begins at 0.57 metres, presumably when the Lock Gates overflow. Upgraded in 1965, to increase max flow from 10 to 20 cumecs. Frustratingly the Level data is not available.
