Linear trends (day/decade) in the timing of the storm season at each station for the zonal wind and SLP between 1950 and 2000.

Trends for the zonal wind are not displayed at Immingham and Dover, as these stations are not impacted by zonal wind³³ (see text). Standard errors are 1$\sigma$. Note that the meteorological data are not extracted at the point closest to the station, but at the point where the correlation with the storm surge is maximum (see text).
