Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Center indicate the development of a huge tropical cyclone over the waters of the western Atlantic Ocean towards Central America. It is the Hurricane (Ernesto) classified as a first-degree hurricane, which is surrounded by huge amounts of cumulonimbus clouds carrying huge amounts of rain, but it does not threaten land in the coming days.

 

According to the latest observations received from the weather monitoring center regarding Hurricane Ernesto:

 

- Maximum wind speed now around the eye wall is: 137 km/h, which is very strong winds.
The lowest observed value of atmospheric pressure in the center of the hurricane's eye is 975 millibars, which is a low value.
- Maximum observed wave height: 14 metres, which is the height of a multi-storey residential building.
- Latitude of the super typhoon: 25 North.
- The longitude of the giant hurricane: 70 West.

 

The area of the hurricane's diameter exceeds the area of 4 Arab countries.

 

The area and geographical extension of the hurricane exceeds a thousand square kilometers, which means that its area has exceeded the area of Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Lebanon. The eye of the hurricane is part of this total area. It is scientifically and meteorologically known that the eye of the hurricane is an area where air collects and clouds build around the eye, which means that the eye is a very low-pressure area that violently builds its wall, but it is completely stable and calm. The crossing of the eye usually deceives residents with stable weather and the appearance of sunlight, thinking that the hurricane has left, but soon the more violent eye wall of the hurricane crosses and destroys everything in its path with torrential rains and strong winds.

 

A tropical cyclone is developing as it moves across the northwest Atlantic Ocean.

 

Experts at the Arab Weather Center said that the latest outputs from global computer models show that the tropical cyclone is moving northwest of the Atlantic Ocean away from land in the coming days, and may develop further as a result of being fed by the warm surface temperature of the Atlantic Ocean, which reaches 30 degrees Celsius, which is a fertile environment for the development of hurricanes.

 

Arab Weather experts raise several question marks about the classification of the tropical system and its developments in the coming days, as it is not possible to give a definitive forecast of the intensity, because tropical systems are very complex weather conditions and are very moody in their development and decline. The tropical system may develop again according to what is happening on the ground, and computer simulations may suffer from confusion due to the specificity of this type of system, so it is necessary to follow the developments that are issued during the day and the coming days, as soon as possible.
