Reported by PEGELONLINE today.
It is the only one we have recorded within 20 km of this point since 22 September 2026.
What the source measured
PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: OBERWINTER on RHEIN | Current level: 494 cm
The gauge on the RHEIN read 494 cm, reported by STANDORT BINGEN.
The gauge stands at kilometre 638.2 of that watercourse.
That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at 47.22 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.
Urban PEI: 81,301 within a heuristic 15 km radius; not unique people.
How we know
One source: PEGELONLINE. Not yet confirmed by a second, independent source.
Our own score for this event is 30 out of 100.
