2 other detections within 20 km in the last 24 hours, the nearest 4 km from here.

Reported by PEGELONLINE 105 days ago.

What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: NIEGRIPP AP on ELBE | Current level: 480 cm

The gauge on the ELBE read 480 cm, reported by STANDORT MAGDEBURG.

The gauge stands at kilometre 343.6 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 34.41 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.

Urban PEI: 37,474 within a heuristic 15 km radius; not unique people.
