- The Rhine measured about 19 centimetres at Kaub and temporarily 14 centimetres in Düsseldorf, while Duisburg has already fallen below its previous record low from the 2018 drought year.
- The Elbe and Danube are also carrying far too little water, leaving some stretches as dry sand and gravel banks where ships formerly travelled.
- Weather models show almost no significant rain over the next 14 days, while a heatwave with highs reaching the upper 30s is expected to build from next week.
- With the Kaub gauge below 40 centimetres, meaningful inland shipping is reportedly barely possible, leaving freighters half-loaded or in port and potentially pushing costs into the billions if the drought continues.
