This article is about Hurricane Beryl, a current tropical cyclone, where information can change quickly or be unreliable. The latest page updates may not reflect the most up-to-date information. |
Hurricane Beryl is a strong Atlantic hurricane moving across the northwestern Caribbean Sea, currently approaching the Yucatán Peninsula. 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. 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 gradually weakening.

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 SST, 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 organized 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] The hurricane strengthened further into 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 and briefly weakened to a Category 3 hurricane early on July 1,[14] but regained Category 4 strength six hours later once the cycle was completed.[15] At 15:10 UTC the same day, Beryl made landfall in Carriacou, Grenada, with sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h).[16] At 03:00 UTC the next day, Beryl further intensified into a Category 5 hurricane,[17] peaking a few hours later with winds of 165 mph (270 km/h), while moving to the west-northwest at about 20 mph (35 km/h).[18] Later that same day, Beryl passed south of Isla Beata, Dominican Republic, where it weakened to Category 4 strength[19] as a result of wind shear.[20]
Moving generally west-northwestward under the influence of the strong ridge to its north, Beryl's center passed very near the southern coast of Jamaica on the afternoon of July 3. It remained a Category 4 hurricane, despite continued westerly shear.[21] As it neared the Cayman Islands at 06:00 UTC on July 4, Beryl weakened to Category 3 strength.[22] Later that day, Beryl weakened into a Category 2 hurricane. Beryl's eye would once again become better defined on radar and satellite, and the storm would restrengthen into a Category 3 hurricane.[23]
Preparations

In Tobago, nine trees fell and nine structures were damaged. Power outages also occurred across the island.[45] In Trinidad, power outages occurred mainly on the northern and eastern parts of the island. Flooding also occured on the northern half of Trinidad.[83][84] Électricité de France stated that 10,000 customers lost power in Martinique.[85] In Fort-de-France, flooding in the downtown reached knee-depth.[86] In Barbados, roofs, trees and electrical posts were damaged.[33] Businesses and roads were flooded. Fishing boats were damaged.[86]
While Beryl's core did not directly cross Venezuela, its outer bands still caused notable impacts in the country, damaging over 8,000 houses.[74] In the state of Sucre, three people were killed and five others were missing, while over 6,000 houses were damaged because of the hurricane.[87] The city of Cumanacoa was flooded by rain dumped by Beryl, which caused the area's Manzanares River to overflow.[88] An additional seven fatalities occurred in northwestern parts of Venezuela, and several injuries occurred across the country.[89] Several officials, including Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, were injured by a falling tree during a tour of the damage in Cumanacoa.[90]
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.[91]
Beryl brushed the southern coast of Jamaica on July 3, with strong winds and rain.[92] At least one person were killed on the island,[93] while another person went missing after he was washed away by floods.[94] The Jamaican Public Service Company stated that over 400,000 people were without power.[95] A small portion of roof of a passenger boarding pier was damaged at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.[96] Kingston itself had most of its power knocked out.[97]
