Right now

3 other detections within 20 km in the last 24 hours, the nearest 3 km from here.

Reported by PEGELONLINE today.

It is one of only 4 we have recorded within 20 km of this point since 14 September 2026. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 3 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.

What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: Very High Water: BAKE Z on NORDSEE | Current level: 613 cm

The gauge on the NORDSEE read 613 cm, reported by STANDORT CUXHAVEN.

The gauge stands at kilometre 755.9 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at -5.03 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.

Urban PEI: 266 within a heuristic 30 km radius; not unique people.

At this point we have recorded a water level between 400 cm and 697 cm, over 3,073 readings since 31 August 2026. Today's reading sits 72% of the way up that range.

Nearby, since 14 September 2026
