On the illustrative map: The area of the eye of Hurricane Helen approached the area of the city of Riyadh

Arab Weather - Specialists at the Arab Weather Center monitored a wide area of the eye of Tropical Cyclone Helen earlier when it was classified as Category 4 (which is the penultimate category) on the tropical cases classification scale, which hit Florida, USA this morning, with a gradual decline in its classification.

Specialists made a vertical projection of the hurricane over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and it was noted that the area of the eye of the hurricane ranged between 1000-1200 square kilometers, which is an area close to the area of the capital, Riyadh. This is evidence of the intensity and violence of the hurricane and its development into advanced stages.
