Part of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season |
Hurricane Beryl is a weakening tropical cyclone currently inland over Texas. Beryl is the second named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane[nb 1] of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. It is also the earliest-forming Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record within any calendar year. After forming on June 28 in the Main Development Region, it began rapidly intensifying as it moved west through the central tropical Atlantic. On July 1, Beryl made landfall on the island of Carriacou in Grenada as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, causing extensive damage. The hurricane intensified further as it entered the Caribbean Sea, peaking as a Category 5 hurricane early the next morning before slowly weakening to a high-end Category 2 hurricane on July 4. It then briefly re-intensified to a Category 3 before weakening slightly just prior to making landfall in southeastern Mexico. Then, after crossing the Yucatán Peninsula, where it weakened to a tropical storm, the system moved into the Gulf of Mexico, where it gradually reorganized into a Category 1 hurricane on July 8, just before making a final landfall near Matagorda, Texas with sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).
Beryl caused catastrophic damage on Grenada's northern islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique and on several of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines's southern islands such as Union Island and Canouan where many structures were damaged or destroyed. In Venezuela, three people were killed and several were missing. As of July 8, a total of 13 fatalities have been confirmed, and preliminary damage estimates are more than $5 billion.

On June 25, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted a low potential for a tropical wave to eventually develop into a tropical cyclone. At the time, the wave was south of Cabo Verde, and was producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.[4] By June 26, the NHC anticipated that environmental conditions would be "unusually conducive for late June across the central and western tropical Atlantic", due in part to record-warm sea surface temperatures (SST) throughout much of the tropical Atlantic. By that time, the thunderstorms had increased and become better organized, with curved bands and some spin.[5][6] By June 27, the NHC assessed a high likelihood of development.[7] The disturbance further organized, becoming Tropical Depression Two over the central tropical Atlantic on June 28, about 1,970 km (1,225 mi) east-southeast of Barbados.[8]
Located south of a strong subtropical ridge, the depression moved generally westward through an area of low wind shear, warm sea surface temperatures, and plenty of atmospheric moisture.[6] As a result, the system began a period of rapid intensification. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Beryl six hours after formation,[9] and the thunderstorms quickly organized into a central dense overcast, with a symmetric cloud pattern surrounded by rainbands.[10] Late on June 29, Beryl intensified into a hurricane. The inner core of the thunderstorms developed into an eye,[11] which became clear and symmetrical. Observations from the Hurricane Hunters indicated that Beryl became a major hurricane on June 30.[12] Rapid intensification culminated with Beryl becoming a Category 4 hurricane, attaining an initial peak intensity with winds of 130 mph (215 km/h).[13] Beryl then underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, weakening slightly early on July 1.[14] The hurricane recovered and quickly re-strengthened, and at 15:10 UTC the same day, Beryl made landfall in Carriacou, Grenada as a high-end Category 4, with sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h).[15][16] Further intensification took place as Beryl entered the Caribbean Sea, with deep convection cooling around the well-defined eye, and Beryl became a Category 5 hurricane early on July 2.[17] This made Beryl the earliest-forming Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic on record and only second Category 5 in the Atlantic during the month of July – the other being 2005's Hurricane Emily. The hurricane peaked later that morning with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph (270 km/h) and a pressure of 934 mb (27.6 inHg).[18] Increasing wind shear eventually caused Beryl to slowly weaken and the eye to become less defined, and as it passed south of the Dominican Republic, the hurricane weakened to a Category 4.[19][20]
Moving generally west-northwestward under the influence of the strong ridge to its north, Beryl's eye passed very near the southern coast of Jamaica on the afternoon of July 3. Being somewhat resilient to the unfavorable conditions, Beryl remained a Category 4 hurricane.[21] Continued weakening eventually resumed, with Beryl falling below major hurricane intensity on July 4,[22] although it briefly regained Category 3 intensity that evening before weakening once more as the pressure again rose quickly.[23][24] At around 11:05 UTC on July 5, the system made landfall just northeast of Tulum, Quintana Roo, with sustained winds of 110 mph (175 km/h).[25] Inland, Beryl quickly weakened due to land interaction, degrading to tropical storm.[26] Its trek over land was brief, and the tropical storm emerged into the Gulf of Mexico steered west-northwestward at 13 mph (20 km/h) by the mid-level ridge located over the southeastern U.S.[27] That night and into the next day, in addition to a broader inner core, Beryl was beset by an infusion of dry air and by moderate wind shear, which kept the storm from strengthening appreciably.[28] Even so, by the afternoon of July 6, its convective structure had improved some and had become more persistent.[29] Beryl turned to the north-northwest on July 7, and slowed to 10 mph (17 km/h).[30] Beryl re-intensified to hurricane strength near 04:00 UTC as its 32 mi-wide (52 km) eye approached the Texas coast.[31] It then made its third and final landfall at 09:00 UTC near Matagorda, Texas with sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).[32]

In Tobago, nine trees fell and nine structures were damaged. Power outages also occurred across the island.[54] In Trinidad, power outages occurred mainly on the northern and eastern parts of the island. Flooding also occurred on the northern half of Trinidad.[109][110] Électricité de France stated that 10,000 customers lost power in Martinique.[111] In Fort-de-France, flooding in the downtown reached knee-depth.[112] In Barbados, roofs, trees and electrical posts were damaged.[42] Businesses and roads were flooded. Fishing boats were damaged.[112] 208,200 people, equal to about 74% of the population, were affected by the storm, with at least forty homes suffering damage.[102] In Saint Lucia, trees and powerlines were downed. Many homes made of weaker materials were damaged and multiple cows were killed.[99][113]
While Beryl's core did not directly cross Venezuela, its outer bands still caused notable impacts in the country, damaging over 8,000 houses.[96] In the state of Sucre, three people were killed and five others were missing, while more than 6,000 houses were damaged because of the hurricane.[114] The city of Cumanacoa was flooded by rain dumped by Beryl, which caused the area's Manzanares River to overflow.[115] Several injuries occurred across the country as well.[116] Several officials, including Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, were injured by a falling tree during a tour of the damage in Cumanacoa.[117]
Greater Antilles
Hurricane Beryl produced gusty winds and rough surf in the Dominican Republic. The hurricane displaced 89 people and cut service to 57 aqueducts. Large waves scattered debris on a section of the Las Américas Highway in Santo Domingo. Storm surge flooding was reported in the neighborhood of Ciudad Nueva, detouring traffic. A landslide destroyed a home in La Zurza. Multiple beachfront shops in Boca Chica were damaged by rough waves. Four dwellings were destroyed by storm surge in La Ciénaga, Barahona, where an additional three houses were damaged.[118]
Beryl brushed the southern coast of Jamaica on July 3, with strong winds and rain.[119] At least three people were killed on the island,[120] while another went missing after he was washed away by floods.[121] The Jamaican Public Service Company stated that over 400,000 people were without power.[122] A small portion of roof of a passenger boarding pier was damaged at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.[123] Kingston itself had most of its power knocked out.[124] At least 1,000 people needed to be relocated to shelters.[102]

In Tulum, Cozumel, and Isla Mujeres, there were reports of disruptions to the electricity service.[127] Operations of Mexicana de Aviación was affected by Beryl.[82]
United States
Texas
As Beryl tracked into Texas, more than 2 million lost power.[128] A 53–year old man was killed in Humble, Texas after an oak tree fell into the house with the man and his family inside, crushing the man underneath structural debris. The other occupants of the house were unharmed. [129]
Records
Beryl is the easternmost hurricane to form in the tropical Atlantic in June – 49.3°W, beating the mark set by the 1933 Trinidad hurricane – 58.9°W.[130][131] Additionally, it became the earliest Category 4 hurricane on record in the basin, surpassing the previous record set on July 8, 2005 by Hurricane Dennis,[130][132] and the strongest June hurricane as measured by wind speed, surpassing Hurricane Audrey of 1957.[133][134] It later became the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record, surpassing the record set on July 16, 2005 by Hurricane Emily, as well as becoming the strongest July hurricane on record by wind speed,[132][135][136] and the highest Accumulated cyclone energy generating storm before August.[nb 2][138]
Beryl also became the first tropical system on record to undergo rapid intensification in the Main Development Region of the Atlantic during the month of June.[130][132] Further, it intensified from tropical storm to Category 5 hurricane in only 42 hours. Six other Atlantic storms are known to have achieved this rate of intensification, with Beryl the only to do so earlier than September.[130][139]

Notes
- ^ Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher—1-minute sustained winds higher than 110 miles per hour (178 km/h)—on the Saffir–Simpson scale are described as major hurricanes.[3]
- ^ A storm's ACE index represents the sum of the squares of the maximum 1-minute sustained wind speed (knots) for that named storm measured every six hours while it is at least tropical storm intensity (≤33 kn (38 mph; 61 km/h)), divided by 10,000.[137]
