Official profile first, then live environmental context
Freshness gate: modelled weather older than 3 hours and gauge readings older than 6 hours are treated as unavailable. Timestamps that cannot be parsed or sit more than 15 minutes in the future are rejected, not labelled live.
Inspect source and failure boundaries
Water-quality classifications, sample history and pollution-risk warnings are deliberately not copied from an unverified nearest-point feed. Use the exact Environment Agency profile above.
Do not combine these into a safety score. The official profile, modelled air weather, any nearby gauge and on-site observations answer different questions. A complete response means only that the requested remote sources returned—not that conditions are safe.
Locate the designated monitoring point
The marker is the Environment Agency record coordinate used by this page. It is not an entry point, access instruction or route. Check land-manager information and what is physically present before approaching the water.

What a second, place-specific source changes
Environment Agency 2025 Farleigh Hungerford sign
- What the source establishes
- The 2025 official sign records a Poor annual classification and advice against bathing, with treated effluent, storm overflows and urban or agricultural runoff named as influences after rain.
- How it changes this check
- Treat the official advice as a stop condition, not merely background context. Check the current profile for any newer classification before even considering the remaining trip checks.
- What remains unresolved
- A gauge, clear appearance or dry weather cannot cancel official advice against bathing. Only a newer authoritative record could change that source status.
Place-specific verification sequence
- 01Open the latest Farleigh Hungerford profile and compare its year with the 2025 sign. If the current authoritative record still advises against bathing, mark Official status as Stop before other checks.
- 02Record recent rainfall and any river reading only as supporting context. Clear appearance, a falling gauge or a dry morning cannot override the official classification and advice.
- 03If a later official record changes status, restart the full review: confirm reach identity, access, upstream rain, flow, submerged obstacles and two exits. Do not reuse an earlier green checklist.
- 04If a newer Farleigh Hungerford profile changes the annual classification, preserve both the new date and the earlier advice in the saved check. A changed annual label still does not establish same-day water quality, access or river conditions.
Place-specific evidence questions
This file keeps the exact River Frome at Farleigh Hungerford record (ukk2301-36051) separate from same-day observations. Its annual designation evidence is not a current access statement or a safety decision.
- 01Is a returned gauge or river sample actually connected to this reach and relevant to the intended time?
- 02Have rainfall and visible flow changed since the most recent official profile or local notice?
