Arab Weather - In the midst of the Atlantic hurricane season, the state of Florida is preparing to face Hurricane Helen, which is rapidly approaching its coasts, and is characterized by strong winds and very heavy rains. As the hurricane approaches land, local authorities are working in coordination with agencies to evacuate residents from areas at risk and take the necessary preventive measures to reduce potential damage.

Weather Forecast: Tropical Cyclone to Hit Florida This Weekend.

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 the tropical cyclone, Hurricane Helen. According to experts at the Arab Weather Center, this amount is considered exceptional.

Florida gets as much rain as Riyadh gets in half a century.

Riyadh is one of the cities that lies in the desert climate zone, where annual rainfall is very low, ranging between 50 and 100 mm. By comparison, 500 mm of rainfall in Florida is equivalent to what Riyadh would receive in half a century, and is equivalent to what some areas of the capital Amman receive in an entire year, i.e. an entire rainy season.

Flooding and landslides will be present in Florida.

Heavy rainfall can lead to severe flooding, threatening infrastructure and property and putting the lives of residents at risk. Heavy rain can also lead to landslides, posing an additional risk to villages and residential areas near slopes.

Hurricane Helene moves toward Florida coast, authorities order residents to evacuate their homes in many counties
