Rain in the next 14 days
Forecast precipitation over the catchments that feed the gauges on this site. It is a weather forecast and nothing more.
Waterlogged does not turn millimetres of rain into centimetres of river, and does not use this panel to move a clear-line, a gauge ranking, an alert or anything else on the site. Rain sits after the measurements, never before them.
Catchments
- Rhine above Kaub feeds KAUB, MAXAU
- Rhine above Cologne feeds KOELN
- Main and Moselle feeds TRIER, COCHEM
- German Danube feeds PFELLING, HOFKIRCHEN
- Elbe above Dresden feeds DRESDEN, SCHOENA
Each figure is a representative catchment total from a fixed set of sampling points, not a true areal mean over the basin. The point count is published above so you can judge it. Sampling set version: basins-v1-2026-08-02.

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.

Why the same rain does different things
Rain has to reach the river before it changes a gauge, and how much of it arrives — and when — depends on how wet the ground already was, how far up the catchment it fell, whether it fell as snow, and what the locks and reservoirs in between are doing. The longer explainer sets out the two timescales that matter and why we do not join them with a coefficient.
