History
What this means
The Elbe at Coswig is running far below normal at 101 cm.
The usual range here runs from 130 cm to 494 cm. The lowest reading on record is 99 cm (August 26, 2018).
It has dropped 2 cm over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 90 cm and 107 cm.
Early autumn is often low-water season on rivers, until steadier rain returns.
