Well the water release went ahead and so far it had a little effect on beats above Glasbury but now seem to have run out of steam and not really discernable at Hay on Wye or Bredwardine.     Lower beats will see non of it in terms of a rise in level or cooler water in my opinion.

Keep everything crossed heat does not build up too high !!!!!!

Builth was 931 mm before,  currently 1024 mm so a massive plug of  93 mm.

Erwood  was 393 mm before ,currently 648 mm  river is narrower here  so 255 mm extra

Glasbury was 430  mm before now  520 mm so 90 mm extra  and by Hay it is non existent.   

Redbrook rose during the night (no extraction) to 141 mm but has fallen back to 91  mm now. 

That is 3.5 inches in old money from being off the bloody gauge. the pumping takes half of that
