  • Annapolis, Maryland - June 05, 2016: A pedestrian crosses Compromise Street in Annapolis, Md. during a brief, dramatic afternoon thunderstorm Sunday June 5th, 2016. Earlier that day a perigean spring tide brought some of the highest water levels of the year to the coastal city and partially flooded the park. Such tides are prone to cause nuisance flooding. Although thunderstorms are a more common nuisance flooding culprit.<br />
<br />
A perigean spring tide brings nuisance flooding to Annapolis, Md. These phenomena -- colloquially know as a "King Tides" -- happen three to four times a year and create the highest tides for coastal areas, except when storms aren't a factor. Annapolis is extremely susceptible to nuisance flooding anyway, but the amount of nuisance flooding has skyrocketed in the last ten years. Scientists point to climate change for this uptick. <br />

  • Annapolis, Maryland - June 05, 2016: An automobile drives through a sizable puddle during a thunderstorm in front of the Harbor Master's office on Dock Street in Historic Annapolis Sunday June 5th, 2016. The puddle is an example of nuisance flooding and was exacerbated by the morning's perigean spring tide and the afternoon's brief thunderstorm.<br />
<br />
<br />
A perigean spring tide brings nuisance flooding to Annapolis, Md. These phenomena -- colloquially know as a "King Tides" -- happen three to four times a year and create the highest tides for coastal areas, except when storms aren't a factor. Annapolis is extremely susceptible to nuisance flooding anyway, but the amount of nuisance flooding has skyrocketed in the last ten years. Scientists point to climate change for this uptick. <br />

A perigean spring tide brings nuisance flooding to Annapolis, Md. These phenomena -- colloquially know as a "King Tides" -- happen three to four times a year and create the highest tides for coastal areas, except when storms aren't a factor. Annapolis is extremely susceptible to nuisance flooding anyway, but the amount of nuisance flooding has skyrocketed in the last ten years. Scientists point to climate change for this uptick. <br />
