On June 28, 2024, Beryl formed as a tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean. The next day, it was upgraded to a hurricane. Beryl joins rare company as most hurricanes that form this far east in the Atlantic occur later in the tropical season.
On June 30, 2024, Beryl became a major, category four hurricane. Beryl became the earliest category four storm to form in the Atlantic Basin, in recorded history. The next day, Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Carriacou Island with 150 mph winds.
That same day on July 1, 2024, shortly after making landfall and moving into the Caribbean Sea, Hurricane Beryl broke yet another record, becoming the earliest category five storm ever observed and only the second category five storm to occur in the month of July.
Hurricane Beryl is forecasted in the coming days to bring destructive forces to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands before arriving at the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
