Hurricane Beryl Records
Strongest July Atlantic Hurricane (on Record): sustaining winds at 165 mph on Tuesday 2nd July, 2024. Hurricane Emily of 2005 previously held a 160 mph Record as the strongest July Atlantic Hurricane (by wind speed). Source: Phil Klotzbach - Tropical Scientist, Colorado State University.
E​arliest Category 5 Atlantic Hurricane (on Record): developing into a Category 5 Hurricane on the night of Monday 1st July, 2024 night, Beryl became the earliest Hurricane to reach that strength in the Atlantic Basin. Hurricane Emily of 2005 previously held this Record by more than two weeks (16th July). Source: Brian McNoldy - Tropical Scientist, University of Miami.
S​trongest Near southern Windwards: at approximately 11:10 a.m. on Monday 1st July, 2024 Beryl made landfall over the Grenadan Island of Carriacou with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph, being the strongest by wind speed among only two other Category 4 Hurricanes in history near Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
E​arliest 150 mph Hurricane in any Season: became the earliest Atlantic Hurricane (on Record) on Monday 1st July, 2024 with winds of at least 150 mph happening a full week earlier than the previous Record, Dennis of 2005 (8th July). Phil Klotzbach - Tropical Scientist, Colorado State University.
Farthest South 150+ mph Hurricane in the Atlantic Basin (on Record).
First June Category 4 Hurricane: Beryl gained Category 4 intensity Sunday morning, June 30, making it the record earliest Category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. Hurricane Dennis in 2005 gained Cat. 4 intensity on July 7 between Jamaica and Cuba. Only three other hurricanes dating to the mid-19th century gained Cat. 4 intensity prior to August.
E​asternmost "major" June Hurricane on record: On Sunday morning, Beryl rapidly intensified to Category 3 intensity. Not only did that become only the third June hurricane to reach that intensity in the Atlantic Basin, but it did so roughly 2,000 miles farther east than 1966's Hurricane Alma did in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Previously, the earliest Category 3 or stronger hurricane in July to have occurred east of the longitude of the Lesser Antilles was Hurricane Bertha on July 7-8, 2008, though that occurred much farther north. So, Beryl's Category 3 strength occurred a week earlier than Bertha east of the Antilles.
E​asternmost June Hurricane on record: Beryl became the farthest east Atlantic Basin June hurricane on record Saturday, breaking a record from the Trinidad and Tobago hurricane of 1933.
T​ropical Depression to major Hurricane happened unusually fast: Given its tiny size and unusually favorable early-season environment, Beryl explosively intensified from a tropical depression to major (Category 3+) hurricane in just 42 hours from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. A​ccording to meteorologist Sam Lillo, that T.D. to Cat. 3 intensification in such a short time had happened only six other times in the Atlantic Basin. None of those previous occurrences happened prior to September, when the conditions are typically most favorable in the heart of hurricane season. L​illo also noted the 75 mph intensification in 36 hours had never previously happened in June, and only twice in July.
W​hen it usually happens: The season's first hurricane usually holds off until late July or early August, leading into the first of three months with the most activity. According to the National Hurricane Center, the season's first Category 3 or stronger hurricane usually happens by Sept. 1, two months later than Beryl.
Beryl a danger sign: The fact that Beryl not only became a tropical storm, but rapidly developed into a major hurricane east of the Lesser Antilles, then a Cat. 5 this early is a warning sign for the rest of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.Â

Director of the Meteorological Services Branch in Jamaica, Evan Thompson, says the conditions brought by approaching Hurricane Beryl could be similar to that of the 1988 Category 3 Hurricane Gilbert.
In 2004 the centre of Category 4 Hurricane Ivan was just off the coast of Jamaica, and in 2012 Category 1 Hurricane Sandy moved over the eastern parishes. Referencing those, Beryl and its potential destruction can be more vivid to the Locals.
Telecommunications Provider, Digicel, has kicked its hurricane contingency plan into high gear to ensure everything is in place to best manage the events of the coming days resulting from Hurricane Beryl.

Hurricane Beryl made history, becoming the first Category 4 Hurricane to be formed in the Atlantic Basin in the month of June on Sunday (30th June), overnight its winds were briefly reduced, returning to a Category 3, a still very dangerous one at that, however, it has once again returned to Category 4 strength as of 08:00 a.m.
Regardless of the category, the Windwards Islands are still in its path, and will be strike today experiencing destructive impacts including strong and life-threatening winds, storm surge, heavy rainfall and flooding which will start this morning and last much of the day.
Beryl is producing maximum sustained winds of 120 mph, which is a reduction from earlier, however the area of hurricane force winds has spread covering a larger area where impacts will be felt. Its future in the Caribbean Sea is still uncertain.

Historical Development: Hurricane Beryl has made history, becoming the first Category 4 Hurricane to be formed in the Atlantic Basin in the month of June!
From being a Tropical Depression on Friday (28th June) to a dangerous Category 4 Hurricane on Sunday (30th June), Beryl, the first Hurricane of the 2024 Season is one to be closely monitored!
Given how rapid Beryl is expected to intensify over the record warm water (for this time of the year) before it strikes the Windward Islands on Monday (1st July), it could be the strongest Hurricane strike southern Islands since Hurricane Ivan in 2024.
