Hurricane Helene is approximately 500 miles east-southeast of Bermuda, and the NHC expect it to stay several hundred miles east of the island, and be no threat to land.

Helene's maximum sustained winds are close to 80 mph, and the NHC expect no changes over the coming 24 hours.

Since Helene is no threat to land, all tracking will now cease. Should Helene become a threat in the coming days, tracking will recommence.

Hurricane Helene is currently jogging around in the Atlantic, approximately 750 miles southeast of Bermuda. Helene has maximum sustained winds of 110mph. The NHC are saying that Helene has already made a turn to the northwest, although the NavyMil suggests by the latest satellite overpass that it is either stationary or still moving west. We will have to wait and see.

Hurricane Helene reverts to a category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 110mph. Helene is still on the more westerly track, although the NHC are still anticipating a turn to the north. Helene is moving to the west-northwest at a steady 9mph.

Hurricane Helene remains a major hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115mph and the very prominent eye feature. Helene is still on the more westerly track, although the NHC are anticipating a turn to the north. Helene is moving to the west-northwest at 8mph, and is not expected to strengthen during the next 24 hours.

Hurricane Helene has de-intensified a little, but remains a major hurricane. Maximum sustsained winds are 115mph and the very prominent eye feature still exists. Helene has turned onto a more westerly track for the time being. Helene is moving to the west-northwest at 9mph, and is not expected to strengthen during the next 24 hours.

Overnight, Hurricane Helene became the second major hurricane of the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season. With maximum sustsained winds of 120mph and a very prominent eye feature, Helene continues to organize as it takes a more northerly track. Helene is moving to the north-northwest at 7mph, but the NHC expect Helene to turn back towards the west-northwest within the next 12 hours.

Hurricane Helene continues to organize with a prominent eye feature, and has increased in intensity as it tracks towards Bermuda, although south-westerly shear appears to be affecting it, as can be seen in the shortwave image on the left. Helene is moving to the northwest at 9mph with maximum sustained winds of 105mph. The NHC expect Helene to continue this motion for the next couple of days before turning towards the north.

Tropical Storm Helene became the fourth hurricane of the 2006 Hurricane Season. Helene continues to organize, and increase in intensity as it finds more favourable conditions and heads northwest towards Bermuda. Helene is moving at 9mph with maximum sustained winds of 85mph. The NHC expect Helene to continue to strengthen for the next couple of days, with a slight turn towards the west.

Tropical Storm Helene continues to organize, and increase in intensity as it heads west-northwest into the open ocean. Helene is moving at 15mph with maximum sustained winds of 70mph. The NHC expect Helene to become a hurricane by the next advisory. They do not expect Helene to threaten land.

Tropical Depression 8 became Tropical Storm Helene yesterday, the eighth named storm of the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Helene is still well to the east, and is moving towards the west-northwest at 16mph with maximum sustained winds of 45mph.

Tropical Depression 8, soon to become Tropical Storm Helene, is still well to the east and is moving towards the west at 18mph with maximum sustained winds of 35mph. There is strong easterly shear over this system which is currently holding down the intensity.
