This was the best depth at the site so far this season, just beating last week's reading of 222.4cm. This also takes it above last year's peak depth of 224.6cm, although still below the 240.9cm from 2017.

Impressively, this is only the third time on record that three consecutive years have exceeded two metres at Spencers Creek. Data for the site goes back to 1954.
