1:28AM - German Weather Service revokes warning for entire Germany
Amidst the growing flood emergency in southern Germany, the German Weather Service (DWD) has withdrawn all weather warnings for Germany. DWD is the one who reported this. The heavy rains in the past few days caused the water levels of several streams and rivers, especially in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, to rise drastically. Entire villages were flooded even after dams were breached. At least four people have lost their lives in the floods so far. The situation remained tense in both regions on Monday.
12:01AM - Most water levels in the southwest are going down
After flooding during the past few days, the water levels at most rivers in the southwest are falling now. Only at larger rivers like the Danube and the Rhine are there still rising water levels, says the flood forecast center. However, there are no longer any critical measurements to be expected that would be exceeded, says a spokeswoman. The water level at the Danube from Hundersingen in the district of Sigmaringen downstream, as well as at Lake Constance, the Upper and Upper Rhine, is currently still rising. At the Maxau Pegel near Karlsruhe, the peak value, which was 8.29 meters on Sunday, is not expected to be surpassed again. At the Neckar, the trend is decreasing.
