Last update 2024.09.08

Arab Weather - The heaviest rains and winds in a hurricane usually occur in the "eyewall" area, which is the ring directly surrounding the eye of the hurricane. In this area, dense clouds gather and rise rapidly, leading to heavy rains and strong winds.

Winds within the eye wall are the fastest and most destructive, and rainfall is very intense, causing major flooding and extensive damage.
