On July 3rd, 2025, the discharge of the Rhine River at the Basel-Kleinhüningen station was relatively low for this time of year. The maximum discharge for the day was 796 m³/s, and the minimum was 643 m³/s, with a daily mean of 720 m³/s. These values are considerably below the historical averages for July, with the maximum discharge falling at the 15th percentile when compared to all historical data for the same month. This indicates that the flow is not unusually high, nor is it among the lowest historically.

The minimum discharge for the day ranks 4th among the lowest values recorded over the past 30 days, placing it within the bottom 10 for this period. However, it does not fall below the 5th percentile when considering all available data for July, suggesting that while it is low, it is not exceptionally so for this time of year.

Over the past 30 days, the discharge has shown significant variability. The highest discharge was 1,805 m³/s on June 7th, while the lowest was 580 m³/s on June 29th. This range indicates a fluctuation of over 1,200 m³/s, reflecting dynamic hydrological conditions. The variability is not unusual given the historical context, as the river has experienced similar fluctuations in the past.

In comparison to all historical measurements for July, the current discharge is below the long-term average of 1,225 m³/s. The historical minimum and maximum discharges for July are 220 m³/s and 3,729 m³/s, respectively. Today's discharge values are closer to the lower end of this historical range, underscoring the relatively low flow conditions currently observed.
