The weather is fairly constant along the Rhine River year-round due to the sheer size of the body of water and the low altitude. In October it is seasonably warm and often enjoys what is called Altweibersommer or old woman's (or widow) Summer much like Indian Summer as it is called in North America.
Thanks to some much-needed rain in mid-August, water levels are finally on the rise on Europe's largest rivers. No weather-related cancellations on the Rhine or Danube have been announced for more than a week. The Elbe, however, is lagging behind, and Viking River Cruises has continued to cancel sailings on the Elbe through August 22.
