Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate the tropical cyclone Ying Xing, which bears a Chinese name after its direct impact on Taiwan, accompanied by heavy rains. It is currently centered over the waters of the South China Sea, and large amounts of cumulonimbus clouds surround it, heading as a tropical weather system towards Vietnam, with the tropical system likely to arrive around the middle of this week, God willing.
The following are the latest observations received by the Arab Weather Meteorological Monitoring Center:
- Classification: Category 2 tropical cyclone
- Atmospheric pressure: 955 millibars
- Average wind speed: 205 km/h
- Direction: Southwest
- Geographic coordinates: Latitude 18 North, Longitude 12 East
The typhoon is expected to continue moving towards Vietnam via the southwest through the South China Sea. Typhoons in this region often follow a southwesterly path after leaving land in Taiwan, heading towards the coast of Vietnam. The tropical weather system is expected to arrive around the middle of the week, God willing.
The eye of the hurricane is larger than the area of 25 countries around the world.

The area of the hurricane's eye exceeded the area of 4 Arab capitals
When the eye of the hurricane was projected onto the Arab capitals, it became clear that their area exceeded the area of 4 capitals, namely Beirut, Damascus, Amman, and Manama, which reflects the intensity and strength of the hurricane.
Eye of the Hurricane: A Quiet Area but Its Wall Is Destroyed
The eye of a hurricane, known as the calmest part of a hurricane, is relatively calm in the center, while the eyewall is the most destructive part of the hurricane. The eyewall fools people into thinking the weather is getting better and the sun is out, but the violent eyewall returns to bring heavy rain and strong winds that destroy everything in its path.
And God knows best.
