Tidal flooding, sometimes called sunny day flooding, is a thing now:
"While people associate flooding with storms, hurricanes, or certain seasons, sunny day flooding can occur on days when there hasn’t been any rainfall or a cloud in the sky. Scientists point to this trend of sunny day flooding as one way that climate change is affecting our natural environment. The frequency of tidal flooding can be attributed to some of the symptoms of climate change, such as the rise in sea level, the erosion of coastal barriers like reefs and sandbanks, as well as the gradual sinking of lands located on sediment rather than bedrock."
Also,
"ST. PETERSBURG — Sunny day flooding could go from an occasional nuisance to a regular problem in the city, according to a new study. It projects that St. Petersburg might see inundation at high tide more than 60 times a year in the coming decades. Sea level rise, periodic shifts in tides and weather patterns are to blame, researchers said. “The reason we’re worrying about it now is this has been going on forever, but we never noticed it before,” said University of South Florida College of Marine Science Associate Dean Gary Mitchum, one of seven authors on the study. “Now the high tide increase every decade or two is superimposed on sea level rise, and the combination of the two is giving us vastly increased events.” The area could reach what the report deems a tipping point in 2033. In the decade before then, the researchers suggest, St. Petersburg will see high-tide flooding about 6 days a year. In the decade after, that number could reach 67 days of tidal flooding in one year."
