Hurricane Beryl is the strongest Atlantic hurricane reached so early in the calendar year. Hurricane strikes this early in the season are virtually unheard of when hit Grenada Monday in the Lesser Antilles.
Hurricane Beryl is roaring through the Caribbean Sea as an extremely dangerous Category 4, after making landfall Monday on the Grenadines’ Carriacou Island.– Hurricane Beryl has shattered records by becoming the earliest Category 4 hurricane ever observed in the Atlantic basin. As of Monday afternoon, Beryl strengthened to a formidable Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds reaching 150 mph, surpassing previous early-season milestones.
Strong ridge of high pressure steers Hurricane Beryl south of Jamacia by Wednesday and toward the Yucatan with strong confidence the system will not turn north toward the United States. Meteorological experts attribute Beryl’s early strength to unusually warm ocean temperatures in the region, which are currently at levels typically seen later in the hurricane season. “The warmer-than-normal ocean heat content in the area is as hot now as it usually is at the height of the season,” according to Metoerologist Mark Collins.
