According to paleogeographic, archaeological and historical data, over the past 3 thousand years, the amplitude of changes in the level of the Caspian sea was about 15 m.
RSE "Kazhydromet" makes a weekly forecast of the level of the Caspian sea. In the Northern part of the Caspian sea, the level fluctuation is expected around minus 28.29 m with a rise to the maximum level of minus 28.01 m and a decline to the minimum level of minus 29.10 m.
In the Middle part of the Caspian sea, the sea level fluctuation is expected around minus 28.34 m with a rise to the maximum level of minus 28.03 m and a decline to the minimum level of minus 28.80 m.
