Sunny day, wet sidewalks: San Francisco's Embarcadero floods without rain
Original: Sunny day, wet sidewalks: SF’s Embarcadero floods without a storm in sight
Sections of San Francisco's Embarcadero flooded under clear skies, with no storm in sight. The phenomenon, known as sunny-day or nuisance flooding, is typically driven by high tides pushing seawater onto low-lying streets and sidewalks. Residents and commuters along the waterfront are dealing with wet, closed or hazardous walkways even in dry weather.
Why now: Flooding without rain is unusual and highlights rising sea levels and high tides affecting a major waterfront.
