Storms - Major cause of rainfall
Temperature testing is being conducted since 1916 and it is not at all surprising to record higher ocean temperatures. In 2018, it was recorded that San Diego had the highest ocean temperature. This temperature had the potential to cause a hurricane to orbit the area for the first time in 160 years. The temperature was recorded to be 78.6 degrees Fahrenheit which broke all records.
A hurricane or tropical storm can always lead to rainfall along with higher wind speed. The Pacific Ocean had a lot of warming since 2014. The tropical storms formed in southeast Pacific Ocean have towering potential to affect the coastal areas. The lofty rainfall depending on the wind speed may lead to overflowing rivers causing San Diego Water Damage.
Third storm system
San Diego has been hit by multiple storms. In 2019, the San Diego County of California was expected to be hit by third storm system. The coastal areas were issued with flash flood warnings. Inland valleys and mountains could experience heaviest rainfall leading to street flooding.
The San Diego Water Damage has been an issue due to the ocean warming and tropical storms resulting in heavy rainfall. Rain water from higher terrain can block the streets and roads. Poor drainage systems around the city might cause water stagnation for a longer period.
