Why has Northern Adriatic recently been exposed to increased flooding?

Hourly sea-level data at Bakar are used to examine the flooding of the Northern Adriatic coast in the period [1951-2012]. An increase in the frequency of moderate and especially of extreme floods, as well as in their duration, is evident from 2008 onwards. The trend in relative sea level can explain the increase of moderate events ; for extreme events the increase is partly attributed to the trend, but also to recent changes in the frequency and/or intensity of storm surges.
