El Niño 2023 Weather Forecast on High-Tide Flooding
Ruinous flooding along our coasts can occur without a storm, and climate troublemaker El Niño 2023 weather forecast is predicted to exacerbate this so-called “high-tide” flooding over the course of the next year, according to research released on Tuesday by federal scientists.
The trend for this kind of flooding persisted last year as the country continued to set records. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s research and El Niño 2023 weather forecast, eight sites on the East and West Coasts actually suffered record high tide flooding last year. This pattern is anticipated to continue in 2024.
Additionally, on El Niño 2023 weather forecast, many areas will see even more high-tide flood days in the following year as a result of El Nio’s anticipated strengthening.

Since 1880 up to today’s El Niño 2023 weather forecast, the sea level has increased by almost 8 inches globally, but not uniformly like water in a bathtub. Ocean currents and land naturally settling have caused it to rise by roughly a foot or more in several American cities over the past century; according to NOAA, it rose by 11 inches in New York and Boston, 12 inches in Charleston, South Carolina, 16 inches in Atlantic City, 18 inches in Norfolk, Virginia, and 25 inches in Galveston, Texas.
Further on El Niño 2023 weather forecast, the U.S. is expected to have four to nine high tide flood days over the course of the upcoming year, according to NOAA’s forecast, up from three to seven days in 2016 and roughly three times as many as were usual in 2000.
