Flood warning! Current levels of the Baltic Sea at a glance

In the past few days, the Baltic Sea, part of the Baltic Sea, which not only encloses Germany, but also several other countries, such as Poland and Denmark, caused a sensation. In this article we take a look at the most important levels in the Bay of Lübeck, which are determined at various measuring stations such as Neustadt, Heiligenhafen and Wismar.

The measuring stations play a crucial role when it comes to monitoring the water levels in the region. The central questions include the current levels and possible flood warnings. On the coasts it is important to know which alarm levels apply in order to take measures to protect people and property in good time.

How high is the status of the Baltic Sea in front of Wismar?

Current measurements show that the water level in front of Wismar continuously increases. This increase has been observed in recent years due to various climatic changes. In order to better assess the Situation, the values for the average water levels, which determine medium flood and medium low water, are of particular interest.

what do the values "medium-sized water" and "medium flood" and "medium flood"?

The terms "medium low water" (MNW) and "medium flood" (MHW) relate to average values that are determined over longer periods. These values help to understand the general water levels, identify flooded areas and manage shipping traffic. The average low water is usually calculated from the low levels over ten years, while the average flood is formed from the highest values.

An example of the importance of this information is shown when roads are flooded near the level measurement stations. Such events can have a significant impact on local infrastructure and restrict the mobility of the population.

When is flood reached? Which warning levels are there?

In the case of floods, there are four alarm levels that can have different effects in different federal states:

• Alarm level 1: Small flood. This means that the water level increases, but only low floods take place.
• Alarm level 2: Medium flood. This can lead to flooding in agricultural areas.
• Alarm level 3: Large flood.
• alarm level 4: very large flood. This represents the highest warning level.

In addition, it is important to know how warnings of floods are pronounced. The flood centers of the individual federal states are involved in providing the citizens the necessary information. This is done via various channels, including radio, television and warning apps.

An interesting fact is that the highest water level of the Baltic Sea in Neustadt on November 13, 1872 was documented at 782 centimeters. Such historical data provide valuable insights into the development of water levels and their potential changes over the years.
