Barbados: The passage of Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean
Bridgetown, Barbados - July 04, 2024 Beryl is the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, which runs from early June to late November. The weather event shocked experts by the intensity it gained. Scientists believe that climate change, which causes higher water temperatures, favours these storms and increases the likelihood that they will intensify rapidly. It left at least seven people dead in the Caribbean: three in Grenada, where it made landfall on Monday, one in St Vincent and the Grenadines and three in Venezuela, according to local authorities. The US weather services classified it as a Category 5 during its path, making it the earliest of this power on record. In May, the US Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) had already warned that the hurricane season was shaping up to be "extraordinary", with the possibility of four to seven hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.
