Flooding intensifies: Chemnitz reaches flood alert level 4
The Chemnitz reached flood warning level 4 a few minutes ago. The water level is currently at 3.51 metres. The trend is still rising. The Zwönitz is also at flood warning level 4.
The State Flood Centre and the German Weather Service continue to warn of heavy continuous rain, which is repeatedly intensified by showers. A further rise in the river levels in Chemnitz must therefore be expected.
All Chemnitz rivers are constantly monitored and regularly checked. Citizens along the waterways are called upon to take appropriate precautions and to keep themselves informed about the weather and flood situation.
