Lake BaldeggYear comparison & records

The 2026 water level compared to last year and to the 1991-2020 reference period: median, typical range (25th-75th percentile) and the extremes of those 30 years.

How to read the chart: the thick line is the current year, the thin one the median of the 1991-2020 reference period. The shaded band shows the normal range (25th–75th percentile), the dotted lines the maximum and minimum. Values above the band are unusually high for the season, below unusually low – but not an official warning.
