The sub-region presents a high frequency of occurrence of intense severe convection events . Because of this situation, strong winds from the south or southeast and high water levels affect the whole Argentine coast, as well as the River Plate shores, Uruguay and southern Brazil . The coast of the River Plate is subject to flooding when there are strong winds from the southeast . As sea level rises as a result of global climate change, storm surge floods will become more frequent in this densely populated area, particularly in low-lying areas   .
