Summary
Home Panorama Stand: 08.08.2026, 19:51 Comments Follow us on Google The situation is becoming dramatic: Germany’s rivers are losing more and more water, the levels are falling to record lows. Ultimately, this amounts to 100 to 150 liters per square meter over two to three weeks, evenly distributed. The first 50 to 100 liters per square meter almost completely seep up soil moisture and groundwater instead of running into the river.
Furthermore, At Kaub in the Middle Rhine Valley you only measure about 19 centimeters, in Düsseldorf the level has fallen to just 14 centimeters – a historical low. On our pages you will find worldwide city and local forecasts for the next 14 days and for the first 7 days in 1-hour resolution and for the following days in 3-hour resolution. Drought weather in Germany: Two weeks without a drop What really stuns: The weather models show almost no significant rain for the next 14 days.
In addition, 14 days no rain – the Rhine dries up, the Elbe and the Danube groan, billions of costs threaten. Ludwigshafen – The Rhine is on the ground: At the narrow point near Kaub, it is only 19 centimeters, a new record that even undercuts the drought year 2018 – and already at the beginning of August.
