Right now

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

Reported by PEGELONLINE today.

It is one of only 2 we have 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: High Water: AALBUDE on PEENE | Current level: 539 cm

The gauge on the PEENE read 539 cm, reported by STANDORT STRALSUND.

The gauge stands at kilometre 14.9 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at -5.17 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.

At this point we have recorded a water level between 537 cm and 544 cm, over 1,292 readings since 31 August 2026. Today's reading sits 29% of the way up that range.

Safety Information

During flooding: never walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters. Six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of water can sweep away a vehicle. Move to higher ground if waters rise. After flooding, avoid contact with floodwater which may contain sewage, chemicals, or debris. Follow local emergency service guidance.

Series begins 8 March 2026. Comparisons refer to that period only. Collection gap: 14-26 August 2026.
