Guadalope, month by month
Highest water: May and from October to November
Lowest water: August. Best months to visit: from June to October.
From about 1.3 m³/s in the lowest month to 9.7 m³/s in the highest. An estimate: the monthly flow is modelled from the lowest and highest months of WaterGAP (RiverATLAS, 1971–2000) and the rain and snow along the river (WorldClim). Dams change the real rhythm. The chip is the average air temperature; below it, the month's rain.
