Danube odds of sailing as planned rise to 29 percent

The Danube's chance of a sailing day going as planned this week came up to 29 percent, from 9 percent yesterday. Rain is due in the Inn valley over the coming week, a little under what November normally brings. On the Rhine, Kaub held still at 11 centimeters and the Middle Rhine is at low water; this week there reads 16 percent as planned, up from 9. At these levels ships usually load lighter, or carry passengers past the shallow stretch by coach to a sister ship.
