El Niño floods California coasts before year's highest tides

Original: El Niño is flooding California's coasts with the highest tides to come

El Niño conditions are already producing coastal flooding in California, and forecasters warn the state's highest tides of the year have yet to arrive. With elevated ocean temperatures driving higher sea levels and stronger storms, low-lying coastal communities face an increased risk of inundation in the coming months, raising concerns about erosion, property damage and the growing impact of climate-driven ocean changes.

Why now: The arrival of an El Niño year and its immediate coastal effects have raised concern about worse flooding ahead during peak winter tides.
