Thur, Andelfingen – Water level
This station shows Water level on a section of Thur. Other locations may have different values; the river overview brings together the available stations.
Current level
354.56m a.s.l.→
Measurement time:
Current FOEN data are unchecked raw data and may be corrected later. A recent measurement time does not mean that a value has been validated. FOEN data quality
Current context
Largely stable over the last 24 hours. 3 cm higher than 7 days ago.
What does this change mean?
“Largely stable” means the change from the comparison value about 24 hours earlier is less than 2 cm. The chart shows fluctuations in between.
We compare values at the same station at two points in time. If no suitably timed comparison value exists, we omit that statement. An unchanged value does not mean a seasonal normal or an all-clear. Changes below the displayed precision are also described as stable.
Past 30 days at a glance
NormalMedian of available daily means: 354.58 m a.s.l. · 30 days in the comparison window.
The current individual value is compared with available daily means from the last 30 complete days, using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for day boundaries. Min. and max. refer to daily means, not individual peaks. A day counts when values exist; gaps can affect its mean. For model series, this compares model values. “High” refers to this short window, not an official danger level or a seasonal normal.

Over the past 24 hours the value ranged between 354.55 m a.s.l. and 354.58 m a.s.l. and stayed largely stable.
Based on 139 available values from Oct 3, 2026, 11:40 AM to Oct 4, 2026, 11:40 AM (Swiss local time). The range describes stored values, not necessarily every peak that occurred.
The forecast value is expected to remain stable across the 6 displayed forecast days.
Forecast

- Min./Max.
- Measured
The line shows the median of the FOEN model forecasts at each timestamp; the band shows their minimum and maximum. Daily cards average the available hourly medians, which is not a daily median. A wider band means greater spread between model paths, not guaranteed upper or lower limits. Partial days may contain fewer forecast values.
Understanding readings at Thur, Andelfingen
A level in metres above sea level describes the surface elevation in the stated datum, not water depth. Use the same station for trends. Networks or countries may use different vertical datums, so a numerical difference does not necessarily represent a physical height difference.
Check the time and source first, then the chart and unit. Missing or disrupted readings cannot support a reliable current assessment. A short comparison describes recent changes, not flood probability. Follow official warnings and local instructions for safety decisions.
