USGS gauge — live water temperature

Water temperature — the colour of the river, and of every dot on it

58 64 70

50°F and colder is cold, through cold-transitional and cool, to warm above 70°F — the same four bands, breaking at 58, 64 and 70°F, that the app paints. Grey is water nobody has measured.

The nearest live reading

The nearest gauge is 11.9 miles away, at Perkiomen Creek At Graterford, Pa — not a reading of this water, but of what the region is doing today. A closer gauge has stopped reporting — its water-temperature series is empty, and was last stamped 17 April 2024, so no number here comes from it.

Thermal classification

PA DEP's classification of this water, reach by reach. A class, not a temperature — no July mean, because none was measured here.

PA DEP has classified 17.0 of the 17.1 miles NHD carries for this stream — 100% of it. Every typed reach carries the same class, cool. The untyped reaches are not warm water — they are water PA DEP's inventory does not reach, and the mile ranges above span only the reaches it does.
