El Niño floods California coasts before highest tides hit
Original: El Niño is flooding California's coasts with the highest tides to come
El Niño conditions are already causing coastal flooding in California, even though the year's highest tides, known as king tides, have not yet arrived. Warm ocean water expands, raising sea levels, and combined with El Niño-driven storms and elevated sea levels this means even routine high tides are pushing water into low-lying coastal areas. The concern is that bigger tides and winter storms later in the season could bring significantly worse flooding, prompting warnings for coastal communities to prepare.
Why now: Unusual early coastal flooding linked to El Niño raises alarm ahead of the year's peak king tides.
