course, it would be practical to know the good water levels forward in advance. Admittedly difficult but not impossible!
A few tips and ideas on the example of last week, when on Friday evening and Saturday, the rivers in eastern Switzerland led most flood.
Weather : determines the main drain.
MeteoSwiss offers the current overview and forecasts, as well Meteocentrale and more.
-> MeteoSwiss has predicted rain for the beginning of the week Friday.
weather hazards : auf MeteoSchweiz zeigt wo und wann mit welchen Ereignissen zu rechnen ist. Für Paddler sind Gewitter und Regen von Interesse.
-> MeteoSchweiz gab am Mittwoch um 11:31 Uhr eine Unwetterwarnung aus:
Art und Intensität des erwarteten Unwetters: Starkniederschläge, Stufe gelb
Erwartete Dauer des Unwetters: von Donnerstag, 14.08.2008, 21 Uhr bis Freitag, 15.08.2008, 24 Uhr
-> Am Donnerstagabend wurde die Alarmstufe dann auf Orange verschärft:
Niederschlagsradar : MeteoSchweiz und andere Seiten informieren über die aktuelle Regenmenge. In Meteocentrale (bottom left storm warnings ) is also a forecast for the next hour handers and the precipitation totals of the last x hours.
MeteoSwiss also with individual details stations.
-> Thursday:
-> rainfall on Friday evening:
media: for more violent events, the newspapers write about it in advance already. Latest Releases of course online.
-> report Tages-Anzeiger Online on Thursday
weather alarm : a super useful Service while still free! register over the homepage , select for desired region (s), events, and alarm level (s) and even before the next storm comes a text message with details. Ideal also want to be in front of the canoe rental area to the target and then to delete it.
-> SMS Thursday lunch:
Weather Alert Level 1: Strong rain, Hinter-TG/Fürstenland, 21:00 - 16.08. 05:00
162 : paid service MeteoSwiss informed about what stronger storms, either via SMS or MMS. The message comes here just before the event - more than an hour before - but it is very precise. Configuration instructions on this page PDF on the right.
-> no example, because rain front without thunderstorms.
FOEN : the Federal Office itself offers a forecast for the Rhine catchment area, with eight stations.
-> Thursday: forecast a peak in Andelfingen on Saturday afternoon with about 450 m3 / s (an indication that the wave starts in Bürglen)
The situation then on Friday evening: Murg Wängi with 15 m3 / s
and on Saturday morning: wave Thur Bürglen with 350 m3 / s
and other great water levels over the whole of Saturday!
Conclusion: on Wednesday, but no later than Thursday evening was a wonderful canoe trip can be planned. After all, more than one day in advance!
other effects:
snowmelt : occurs in early summer when the weather is pretty stable for a long time. Using the linked flow charts at the measuring stations on RiverMap, the runoff can be predicted almost to the hour.
Snow Depth Map : the Federally. Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research published in mid-December one card with information.
drain of (Jam) lakes: an early stage because of the weather and other circumstances (electricity market) less regulated at an early stage. Difficult to find information about this.
