Right now

Nothing else has been detected within 20 km in the last 24 hours.

Reported by PEGELONLINE today.

It is the 2nd strongest of the 8 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 29 August 2026. The last comparable one was on 29 August 2026.

What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: Very High Water: AWK STROHBRÜCK on NORD-OSTSEE-KANAL | Current level: 650 cm

The gauge on the NORD-OSTSEE-KANAL read 650 cm, reported by STANDORT KIEL.

The gauge stands at kilometre 0.9 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 0.00 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.

An estimated 192,424 people live within 30 km of this point.

At this point we have recorded a water level between 649 cm and 651 cm, over 1,287 readings since 31 August 2026. Today's reading sits 50% of the way up that range.

Nearby, since 29 August 2026
