Short summary
We applied a fast statistical model to estimate future extreme storm surges in Europe using data from 17 climate models – about twice as many as in past studies. Results show robust regional patterns – decreases in the Mediterranean and Moroccan coast, increases in the Irish Sea and Gulf of Finland – with high uncertainty in other areas. Out results increase our knowledge on future storm surge uncertainties, needed for informed coastal planning.
