In the period 1960-2015, the mean sea level along the Slovenian coast rose by 10 cm. On average, this means a rise of 1.7 mm/year and, in the last 20 years, 5 mm/year. It is estimated that the rise of mean sea level is affected by global sea level rise and, in the last period, by extreme weather conditions in the region. Over the past twenty years, the sea level along the Slovenian and Adriatic coast has been rising at a rate surpassing European and global trends.
