Seine water levels in June

The current figure for June 2027 on the Seine is 3%: the chance a sailing runs into high water at the tightest bridges. In short, low risk. Until the live forecast reaches June, about seven months ahead, this is the thirty-year record.

June is quiet water on the Seine: locked, regulated, and drained of winter. Sailings are rarely troubled.

June has hit high water in roughly 3% of the past thirty years on this river, 6th calmest of the twelve months. July and August run calmest on the Seine, March and February riskiest.

The last five Junes, from the official record: 2026 clear · 2025 clear · 2024 clear · 2023 clear · 2022 clear. None of the last five Junes hit high water.

On the Seine the risk runs the other way: high water. Too little clearance under the Paris bridges pauses sailings and closes moorings. The river never dries out. It rises.
