Kelvin waves to raise West Coast sea levels up to 30 cm through February

Kelvin waves are expected to elevate sea levels along the Pacific Coast by up to 30 centimeters starting this month, with effects persisting from October to February. The phenomenon is a natural oceanic event, but the magnitude and duration could exacerbate coastal flooding risks, especially during high tides or storms. The forecast is based on expert predictions, though the exact impact on specific locations remains uncertain.
