Danube · km 1646.5
Budapest
Free-flowing The river runs free here, so the level is the constraint: this is where a drought actually binds a hull.
The middle Danube at the city itself, where ships have queued downstream unable to reach their berth. Our bands here are calibrated judgment, not a published fairway depth.

A Waterlogged clear-line is our own arithmetic: the gauge reading at which the published reference depth, minus the ship's draught and a fixed safety allowance, still leaves a comfortable margin. It is not an operator's decision rule and no cruise line uses it. Computed using an assumed 1.60 m draught unless a cruise line is selected.

The multi-year archive behind this gauge is permission-gated, so Waterlogged publishes no history panel for it. The publisher's own pages are linked above.
This is measured history, not a forecast and not an estimate of disruption probability.
Rain in the next 14 days
Status: rain forecast not yet enabled. Waterlogged shows forecast precipitation only under a paid Open-Meteo commercial contract, and no contract key is configured on this deployment. The official services linked below publish their own rain forecasts.
Rain may slow a fall or create a rise after losses and routing. Waterlogged does not convert this forecast into gauge centimetres or a cruise-disruption probability.
