| The Severn Estuary has a funnel shape that stretches from SouthWest to NorthEast. It is aligned with its predominant wind direction, which means that strong southwesterly winds can significantly increase an incoming tide, creating huge waves that crash onto its shores. With an anticipated sea level rise and climate change, the effect of the wind will remain an important factor for the management of coastal protection & flood defences. |
