Hello everyone,

There are four new links in the Visiting The Broads Forum.

These are:-

The Norfolk Broads Webcams

The Broads Authority Website

The BBC Weather Norwich

The Environment Agency Flood Warning

I am sure a number of you will appreciate the webcams direct link.

Regards

Alan

Thanks, Alan. The webcam site is particularly interesting, isn't it?

 

I think that's how Lori keeps an eye on us all to make sure we're not misbehaving!    :naughty:

The Environment Agency flood warning link goes to the River level gauge at Repps, Potter Heigham.

 

The Environment Agency flood warning page for the Anglian Region is at http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/34678.aspx?type=Region&term=Anglian

Hello Strowager,

 

I will include a link for the full Anglian area.

It does indeed! There's also one for Hoveton Broad...

 

Now if some very clever person can link those levels to feet under the bridges that would be immensely useful!

I posted my ramblings about it on here about a year ago, but it didn't seem to be of any interest.... 

 

[Hockham Admiral]

Well it certainly is to us, Stow and so sorry we missed it last year... now do you have the same for Wroxham, please?

[Guest]

I can't see the post you've linked to, Strowager.. Could you point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks

It was a link to an image file John.

 

It should be visible again now.

 

I was just checking to see how much interest there was in it this time....

You wouldn't happen to know if they have a publically-accessible API would you?

 

I made enquiries a couple of years ago, and although all of the gauges are connected to the web, there was no interest in making them accessible to the Public other than via their own website.

That's a pest.

How many other gauges are there on the broads? How many others are needed for working out bridge clearances at other places?

 

The critical ones are:

 

The Hoveton Broad gauge is the nearest one for Wroxham Bridge:

Ludham Bridge is equidistant between Ranworth and Barton Broad gauges:

http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/riverlevels/120738.aspx?stationId=6216

 

Three Mile House is the nearest the Yarmouth Bridges:
