Any insights on the incoming #BCStorm, in particular wind direction and speed at the next several high tides?

#ExtremeWeather events to become more frequent in #Ireland

By Eithne Dodd
Updated / Monday, 29 Dec 2025

"2025 was the year climate scientists agreed it would be impossible to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.

"The target was agreed by world leaders back in 2015.

"This means a certain amount of damage to the Earth's environment due to human-induced climate change is irreversible.

"In Ireland, several reports this year found that the state of the country's environment was getting worse.

"#MetÉireann climatologist Paul Moore explained that as Ireland warms, extreme weather events will become more frequent.

"Mr Moore told RTÉ’s This Week that sea level rise is 'locked in', even if global warming was limited to 1.5C.

" 'That means when we get an #ExtremeRainfall event and #HighTides or #SpringTides together, we have compound events where you get #TidalLock, you get #CoastalFlooding as well as the rainfall and not being able to run out into the sea,' he said.

"Mr Moore added: 'So those compound events where sea level rise will come in conjunction with storms and heavy rainfall events causing more impacts.

" 'That's something that's definitely going to increase.'

"There has been a 0.2 metre rise in the sea level off the Irish coast between 1901 and 2018.

"The National Climate Change Risk Assessment identified 115 risks for Ireland in a warming world, among them were coastal flooding, #erosion and #ExtremeWinds."

Lightning very close, thunderclap very loud, more thunder, heavy wind and rain, power out a few minutes later. @czds and I are enjoying the decision to start with batteries.

Flood Warnings: Strengthening Coastal Safety - Rackenzik

Improving coastal flood preparedness with better education, policies, and technology to protect vulnerable communities.

"Just 25 years from now, a total of 23,000 people and 17,000 homes in #Florida will experience annual #CoastalFlooding, with high tides or strong winds that whip ocean water onto land, including into areas that would have previously been unaffected, research by non-profit Climate Central found."

'#WickedHighTide:' Days of #CoastalFlooding in #NortheastUS not over yet

Streets were underwater and people had to slosh through sunken sidewalks as coastal flooding inundated parts of the Northeast since Thursday, and it's not over yet.

By Jesse Ferrell
Published Sep 23, 2024

"A local environmental group in #Boston, #StoneLivingLab, posted signs in the water directing onlookers to its website, which said, 'Wicked High Tides are back! These annual tides are 2-4 feet higher than normal and give us a window into how sea level rise will soon affect our daily lives.'"

Interesting.. higher than predicted water levels in Hawaii.

"...Coastal Hazard Message
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
300 AM HST Tue Sep 17 2024

...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDE THROUGH TUESDAY...

.The combination of high astronomical tides and water levels running around 0.6 to 0.8 feet higher than predicted will produce localized coastal inundation around the time of high tide this afternoon...."

Useful reporting from KYUK in Bethel on making maximum use community knowledge about coastal flooding in northern and western Alaska. @Climatologist49 @Jdnome

New research uses 130 years of historic flood observations to help identify future risks

Residents of low-lying villages in Alaska know exactly where their communities are most prone to flooding, but that information hasn’t always been accessible on a wider scale. New research helps compile on-the-ground flood observations to help communities and outside agencies prepare for and predict future floods.
