“York City Council said the River Ouse was expected to peak at more than 5m on Monday – close to its highest recorded level of 5.40m.”
“The highest river level recorded at this location is 5.40 metres and the river level reached 5.07 metres on 27/09/2012.”
So about as bad than 2012 then and much lower than some unspecified date in the past, according to Church history.
