Where CANANDAIGUA OUTLET AT CHAPIN NY sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines New York DEC uses are 70°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 31–116 ft³/s (middle half of 86 years of record). Now: 33.4 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 33.4 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 86 years of record (1941–2026): 10th 18, 25th 31, median 47, 75th 116, 90th 345 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 11 ft³/s, highest 894 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (−2.9% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
