Observation ID	#5086
Date and Time	Thursday 3rd February 2011 12:08pm
Approved	Approved

Notes

Air Pressure 1014.3 hPa, Rainfall 0.00mm last 48 hrs.
River level very low. River gauge exposed down to mud layers that have buried the lower readings beyond 0.5 m. Recorded reading above is an estimate only.
Stains and dampness of the exposed sand along river banks suggest that the overnight high tide of 1.4m did have a tidal influence on the river.
