The Severn bore is a tidal bore seen on the tidal reaches of the River Severn in south western England. It is formed when the rising tide moves into the funnel-shaped Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary and the surging water forces its way upstream in a series of waves, as far as Gloucester and beyond. The bore behaves differently in different stretches of the river; in the lower, wider parts it is more noticeable in the deep channels as a slight roller, while the water creeps across the sand and mudflats. In the narrower, upper reaches, the river occupies the whole area between its banks and the bore advances in a series of waves that move upstream. Near Gloucester, the advancing water overcomes two weirs, and sometimes one in Tewkesbury, before finally petering out.

  • El macareo del Severn (nombre original en inglés: Severn bore) es una ola fluvial que remonta los tramos afectados por la marea a lo largo del río Severn, en el suroeste de Inglaterra. Se forma cuando la marea ascendente se desplaza hacia el canal de Brístol (con forma de embudo) y desde allí al , de modo que el flujo emergente se abre paso aguas arriba en una serie de olas, hasta alcanzar Gloucester y más allá.
