Hurricane Beryl grows to Category 5 strength in the southeast Caribbean

NPR

Hurricane Beryl grows to Category 5 strength in the southeast Caribbean toggle caption NOAA/NESDIS/STAR GOES-East Hurricane Beryl upgraded to a "potentially catastrophic" Category 5 storm late Monday night, the National Hurricane Center said, as it crossed islands in the southeastern Caribbean. "Fluctuations in strength are likely during the next day or so, but Beryl is expected to still be near major hurricane intensity as its moves into the central Caribbean and passes near Jamaica on Wednesday," the NHC said. Earlier Monday, the eye of Beryl "made landfall on Carriacou Island" as it brought 150 mph winds and a dangerous storm surge to islands on the eastern edge of the Caribbean, the NHC said. Since forming in late June, Beryl is now the earliest Category 4 Atlantic storm; it was also "the farthest east that a hurricane has formed in the tropical Atlantic in June on record, breaking the old record set in 1933," as Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach said on X.
