From the Arab Weather Regional Center - The latest satellite images and data from global observatories indicate the formation of a tropical storm called Helen in the Caribbean Sea, and the wind speed around the center of the storm is estimated at approximately 90 km/hour.
The computer simulation results at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the tropical condition is expected to develop into a third-degree hurricane before hitting the southern coasts of the United States directly, including the west coast of Florida, accompanied by heavy rainfall and strong winds that lead to flooding and seawater inundation of coastal areas.
Hurricane Helen is expected to be the most powerful hurricane to hit the United States in more than a year, and mandatory evacuation orders have been issued in several Florida counties due to the risk of flooding and damage to infrastructure.
It is noteworthy that the tropical condition is expected to pass over the Gulf of Mexico, which is witnessing unprecedented warming and a rise in its temperatures above the normal rate, which enhances the intensity of the hurricane and the accompanying rainfall.
