Adelaide and the Mount Lofty Ranges

How these gauges have moved over the last 24 hours of record: Onkaparinga River at Baker Gully, Onkaparinga River at Clarendon Weir.

These are changes, not heights against one another. The gauges here sit against different datums — absolute heights across this network run from −0.30 m to over 40 m, and two of the sources publish no datum at all — so their heights cannot be placed on a shared scale and mean anything. How far each one rose or fell over the same hours can be compared, and that is what this page and its chart show.

What this chart shows

Every line starts at zero on the left edge and shows how far that gauge has risen or fallen since that moment — not how high it is. Gauges here sit against different datums and span heights from −0.30 m to over 40 m, and two of the sources publish no datum at all, so their absolute heights cannot be put on one axis and mean anything. Their changes can. Zooming or panning re-bases every line to the new left edge.

A gauge rising fast is not the same as a gauge that is high, and neither is a warning. Official warnings come from the Bureau of Meteorology.
