Notes
Rain past 48 hrs = 0; Atm. press. = 1008.9 hPa.
Water level not readable on gauge due to mud bank deposits. Judged to be < 0.5 m. At finish of observations the level was still below 0.5 m, but was estimated to have risen by 1-2 cm.
Observed wetting of sandbanks near the photopoint, presumed to be due to the previous high tide, supports the existence of tidal influence.
Access to monitoring point BmP2 is considerably impeded by untended vegetation growth and by stockpiles for ongoing road construction. New season's growth also hinders access along the foot track leading to BmP3.
