Arab Weather - As the Atlantic hurricane season draws to a close, Florida is once again preparing, less than a month after the devastating Hurricane Helen, for a severe tropical cyclone that is classified as catastrophic and destructive, characterized by strong winds and very heavy rains. As the hurricane moves towards land in Florida, local authorities, in coordination with agencies, have evacuated residents from areas at risk and taken the necessary preventive measures to minimize potential damage.

 

Weather Forecast: Tropical cyclone to hit Florida Wednesday evening, bringing massive amounts of rain.

 

According to the latest outputs of advanced computer modeling at the Arab Weather Center, numerical models predict that Florida will witness rainfall that may reach nearly 500 mm during the passage of Tropical Cyclone Milton. According to experts at the Arab Weather Center, this amount is exceptional.

 

The amount of rain in Florida is equivalent to what falls on Arab capitals in several years.

 

The expected rainfall amounts are very large, and from a scientific explanation of this amount, it can be said that each square meter will receive the equivalent of 500 liters of water. The huge amounts of rainfall can lead to severe flooding, threatening infrastructure and property and endangering the lives of residents. Heavy rains can also lead to landslides, which pose an additional risk to villages and residential areas near the slopes.

 

If we compare the amount of rainfall that Florida might receive in a few days with Arab capitals and cities, we find, for example, that it is equivalent to what Riyadh might receive in half a century. For example, the average rainfall throughout the year in the southern regions of Jordan is about 55 mm, and the expected rainfall in Florida is 9 times what falls on one of the southern regions of the Kingdom in 9 rainy seasons under normal conditions, and what is the average amount of rainfall usual in a whole year in the northern and central-western regions of Jordan.

 

God knows best.
