Water level of the Neusiedler See above the long -term average

On Friday, October 11, 2024, a remarkable increase in the water level of the Neusiedler See was registered. The level exceeded the long -term average of 115.39 meters above the Adriatic Sea by one centimeter and thus reached 115.40 meters. This is a gratifying event, especially if you look at the previous years in which the water level was considerably lower.

in 2022 the lowest status has been measured since 1965 with 114.90 meters, and in 2023 the measurement was well below with 115.01 meters. These developments had changed the image of the lake significantly and ensured concern among the water sports fans of the region, who were thinking about limited leisure opportunities.

previous weather conditions

The Neusiedler See began in relatively well -filled condition at the beginning of 2024. On June 20, 2024, the long -term average center of 115.52 meters was exceeded at times. However, the hot summer ensured that the water level sank strongly in the meantime. In contrast to previous years, water sports remained possible, and the lake had a surprising resistance to the extreme weather conditions.

The strong rainy period in mid -September 2024, which led to flood damage in various regions, benefited Lake Neusiedler and led to an increase in the water level by more than ten centimeters. The so -called "water level" refers to the height of the water in the lake compared to a defined reference point, here the level above the Adriatic Sea. In the past two years there has been a clear lack of water, which affected the environment and the leisure activities in the region.

With the current increase in the water level, it is the first time since May 2019 that Lake Neusiedler exceeds the long -term average. In 2022, the water level was still 50 centimeters below the average, while in 2023 it was still 40 centimeters below. This gratifying development not only offers a welcome improvement for water sports enthusiasts, but also shows how important weather phenomena and precipitation are for the preservation of this unique steppe lake.

The reporting on the water level of the Neusiedler See is of great importance, since it not only influences the leisure behavior of the locals, but also reflects the ecological conditions and the tourist attractiveness of the region. The current values are a glimmer of hope after a time of drought and low water levels. Details on the current developments can be found in an article at Volksblatt.at .
