MeteoLux Current Weather Forecast
The flood warning service is in alert status. Risk of major floods, causing large inundation that could have a significant impact on people and property; even in areas that are rarely flooded. Updates at least twice daily or by change of situation.
Significant danger Friday 17.05.2024 and Saturday 18.05.2024
Due to the further increase in rainfall over the last few hours, the water levels at some watercourses are rising significantly more than expected.
On the Alzette, the water levels have already exceeded the "cote d'alerte" at the Pfaffenthal and Steinsel gauges, and the Mersch gauge is expected to continue to exceed the "cote d'alerte" from this evening.
On the Alzette, the "cote d'alerte" may also be exceeded at the Ettelbrück gauge; the maximum levels on the Alzette are expected to be reached during the night/morning.
On the Sûre, an exceedance of the "cote de préalerte" at the Diekirch and Bollendorf gauges can no longer be ruled out from late evening/at night; the maximum levels will be reached in the morning.
Some smaller water courses (Mamer, Syre, Ernz Blanche and Ernz Noire) have also reached significantly higher water levels; as with all water courses, increased caution still applies here. The maximum levels on the smaller water courses are currently being reached or will be reached in the next few hours.
Update if situation changes.

Potential danger Friday 17.05.2024 and Saturday 18.05.2024
Due to the heavy rainfall in the French Moselle catchment area, the water levels on the Moselle are currently rising very quickly and are in the region of the water level of 530 cm at the Stadtbredimus gauge (Remich: 452 cm); the possibility of this water level being exceeded cannot be completely ruled out.
Please note:
The high water levels on the Saar cause additional backwater on the Moselle. However, this influence is difficult to predict. The water levels in Wasserbillig (Moselle and Sauer) may therefore be significantly higher than calculated and flooding must be expected. The CGDIS emergency services are on heightened alert in this regard.
As far as the situation in Remich is concerned, the Remich-Stadtbredimus connection is temporarily affected by work on a gate at the Stadtbredimus dam. This situation is not expected to have any appreciably aggravating consequences compared with comparable floods in the past.
