Hi community,
I’ve read severally about how the Rhine is on the lowest level it has been (only matched by 2018 drought).
However, the impression I get from where I reside (close to the Weser) is quite different. The water level has been considerably higher in the last weeks.
I don’t expect the rainfall pattern has been particularly divergent across Germany to the extent that the Weser would be full and the Rhine would be so empty.
So three questions,
The DWD does not seem to have this information. I’ll appreciate links to Diensts that could help my research.
Cheers and Schönes Wochenende euch.

Thank you. This is very helpful. The drought issue seems to be a problem in the middle of Germany. Mostly from the rivers that originate from the Alps. Perhaps this is due to lower levels of ice caps available to melt.
Rhein just passed its lowest ever depth today here in Cologne. 66cm Pegel.
Lower than it normally is at this time of year between Laufenburg and Basel but not by a huge amount. Still cold and very nice to swim in.
