Supermoon Causes Coastal Flooding Advisories

A series of weather advisories have been issued across various regions, including Ireland, the East Coast of the U.S., and Hawaii, due to exceptionally high supermoon spring tides that may lead to coastal flooding. Met Éireann has warned of potential flooding in Ireland, alongside heavy rain and strong winds expected over the weekend. In Hawaii, minor King Tides are anticipated to cause isolated flooding in low-lying areas, with residents advised to take precautions. The National Weather Service has indicated that the supermoon could result in up to two feet of flooding in parts of New York and New Jersey, while Florida is also bracing for significant inundation. Officials are advising residents in affected areas to avoid travel and prepare for road closures due to rising waters. The gravitational pull from the supermoon is intensifying tidal forces, leading to these heightened risks of flooding.
