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

Reported by PEGELONLINE today.

It is one of only 3 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: ALTHAGEN on OSTSEE | Current level: 484 cm

The gauge on the OSTSEE read 484 cm, reported by STANDORT STRALSUND.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at -4.98 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.

An estimated 125 people live within 15 km of this point.

This is the lowest water level we have recorded at this point, over 1,300 readings since 31 August 2026 — the previous range was 484 cm to 512 cm.
