Baltic Sea under water: Current water levels and storm surge warning!
On November 13, 2025, the weather on the Baltic Sea coast in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania will cause worried faces. The water levels in popular holiday resorts such as Wismar, Warnemünde and Althagen are again a hot topic today. According to the latest reports from the Baltic Sea newspaper The authorities are alarmed, especially since the last severe storm surge in October caused significant damage amounting to 56 million euros.
The measuring stations in the region record different water levels. The average value over ten years forms the basis for the classification of high and low water. In Warnemünde, the mean high water level (MHW) was set at 617 cm and the mean low water level (MNW) at 407 cm. As a reminder, the last severe storm surge put it at 1.50 to 2.00 meters above the mean water level, warning the population to be careful.
Storm surge warnings and their consequences
Flood warnings are issued quickly and efficiently through various channels: from radio and television to loudspeaker trucks and social media. This information is important because on October 18, 1967 the lowest water level was recorded in Warnemünde at 332 cm. The affected cities, such as Sassnitz, have already budgeted extensive sums for reconstruction, including 42 million euros for infrastructure and 6 million euros for sand losses on beaches and dunes.
The question now arises for holidaymakers and residents: How can they arm themselves against the forces of nature? It is important to keep an eye on current water levels and listen to warnings from flood control centers. Your own sense of security should not be neglected either. In times when there is a risk of flooding, good preparation is essential.
The volume of water and its impact on coastal regions is an ongoing issue. While some may be looking for adventure, others are worried about their homes and safety. The balancing act between nature and people is a challenge that communities unfortunately have to face again and again. It is therefore essential to remain vigilant and inform yourself in advance.
So this day shows us that the Baltic Sea, even if it is fascinating, does have its pitfalls. Anyone who grows up with knowledge of the water levels and the responsible authorities can better adapt to the imponderables of nature and avoid possible damage. With this in mind: take good care of yourself and keep your ears open!
