Hurricane Beryl: Category 5 Atlantic hurricane in 2024
Hurricane Beryl, currently a tropical depression, is a tropical cyclone currently inland near the Texan-Arkansas border. Beryl is the second named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane 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 into a Category 2 hurricane again before making landfall in Tulum, Quintana Roo on July 5. 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, where it weakened to a tropical depression inland over Texas on July 8th.
