How this is calculated

Fishing score: starts from 100 and is reduced by poor height, rising upstream gauges, forecast rain, recent/active overflows and forecast gusts from 20mph upwards.
Travel recommendation: converts the score and status into Worth travelling, Only if nearby, Recheck later or Do not travel.
Good: Masham is 0.6m or below, steady/falling, no upstream gauges are rising, no recent/active Ure overflow records are present, and forecast rain today is below 5mm.
Caution: one upstream gauge is rising, Masham is above the low-water comfort threshold but below the poor threshold, or forecast rain today is 5mm or more.
Poor: Masham is 0.8m or above, two or more upstream gauges are rising, or heavy forecast rain combines with an upstream rise.
Overflow Alert: river level is usable, but recent/active Ure catchment overflow records are present.
Unknown: key live data is unavailable.
Forecast rainfall affects the status. Wind and gusts affect the score only: 20–24mph gusts are a small penalty, 25–34mph a stronger penalty, and 35mph+ a larger penalty.
