Rainy July Good for Lake Neusiedl

The water level of Lake Neusiedl recently reached 115.34 meters above the Adriatic, which is four centimeters more than last year. This is due to above-average rainfall and lower temperatures, which led to less evaporation, explained Christian Sailer, head of water management in Burgenland.

Lake Neusiedl: Summer Season Secured Thanks to Cooler and Rainy July

The lake is still ten centimeters away from the long-term average. It is 36 centimeters ahead of the lowest value since 1965, which was measured in 2022. Sailer is optimistic about the coming months: The water situation will remain good, he noted. The summer season is secured. Although the water level will drop slightly with higher temperatures in August and September, it will not be to the extent that water quality, tourist offerings, or water sports will be affected. Additionally, Sailer hopes for sufficient rainfall in the winter. Then, the water level could settle around the long-term average.
