ammeter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it shows level of current' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer. I also know that 'current' relates to this answer.

'temperature after girl turns up on english river' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'temperature' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'river' could be 'r' and 'r' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
