Storm tides of the North Sea refer to the temporary increases in sea level caused by storm systems in the North Sea region. These events typically occur when strong winds, low atmospheric pressure, and high waves combine to push seawater toward the coastal areas, leading to tidal surges. The North Sea, which lies between Great Britain, Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium, is particularly susceptible to these phenomena due to its relatively shallow continental shelf and the characteristic weather patterns that can generate storms.
