Main: water levels along the river

We have 13 gauges on the Main. 2 of them read below normal for the date, and none is running high.

On this page the river runs through Hessen, Bayern and Baden-Württemberg. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Autumn is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.
