Flood - Water levels on the Upper and Middle Rhine continue to fall
The water levels in Rhineland-Palatinate are continuing to fall. "Water levels are falling at the Upper Rhine gauges," announced the Rhineland-Palatinate Flood Forecasting Center on Wednesday. On the Upper Rhine, the water level at the Maxau gauge has already fallen below seven meters, while the Mainz gauge is expected to reach 5.5 meters in the course of Wednesday. The water levels there are expected to continue to fall at least until the turn of the year.
According to the forecasting center, water levels on the Middle Rhine are expected to fall at least until the weekend. According to current forecasts, the water level at the Koblenz gauge is expected to fall below five meters on Friday.
Water levels on the River Sieg are also expected to fall rapidly until Friday. However, as new precipitation is expected there on Friday, a renewed rise in the Sieg at the Betzdorf gauge cannot be ruled out.
Flood report from 27.12.

The Flood Forecasting Center in Rhineland-Palatinate is responsible for the announcements regarding the water levels. The water level in Saarland, a part of Rhineland-Palatinate, is not explicitly mentioned in the current report, but the overall trend is a decrease. The prediction for the water level in Mainz, located on the Middle Rhine, is to drop further. The Upper Rhine and Middle Rhine are both experiencing a decrease in water levels, which is a positive development for flood mitigation. Weather conditions play a significant role in flood forecasting, and any changes could impact the water levels.
