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
Down 2.5 m³/s over the last 24 hours. 4.3 m³/s lower than 7 days ago.
Past 30 days at a glance
Very lowMedian of available daily means: 47.9 m³/s · 30 days in the comparison window.
The current individual value is compared with available daily means from the last 30 completed UTC calendar days. 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.

Forecast
Source: FOEN forecast- Median
- 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 Reuss, Luzern (outflow)
This station is linked to the Lake Lucerne overview. Its name identifies the location: a station on an inflow or outflow does not necessarily describe the lake’s water level or temperature.
Discharge in m³/s is the volume passing a cross-section each second. It is neither current speed nor water depth. Compare the same station over time; the difference between two stations alone is not a measurement of intervening inflow.
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.
