River levels on the Schwechat

All figures come from the Hydrographic Service of the State of Lower Austria and are retrieved from its public gauge portal. We do not convert or add anything: what you see is the most recently transmitted reading with its timestamp.

These are unverified raw data. They are sent automatically by the gauging station and have not yet been checked by experts. A station can fail, freeze or be distorted by floating debris. If you base a decision on these figures, please refer to the official website.

This page does not issue warnings. Flood warnings and forecasts are the responsibility of the authorities – the state’s current water level reports and forecasts are available at noe.gv.at/wasserstand (in German). The comparison with the highest flood level recorded here only puts the current level into context; it says nothing about the coming hours.

The change (“rising”, “falling”) is the difference from the reading about three hours earlier. Differences of less than one centimetre count as steady – anything smaller would be noise, not a trend.
