Lake SilvaplanaYear 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.

  • Current year 2026
  • Previous year 2025
  • Median
  • 25th-75th percentile
  • Maximum / minimum

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.

The analysis uses the water-level series from Silvaplanersee, Silvaplana. Matching calendar days are compared, and the median is the middle value of the reference years. This classification does not replace flood warnings or local safety information.
