Hurricane Beryl is pictured as a Category 4 storm south of Barbados from the International Space Station as it orbited 262 miles above the Caribbean Sea.What started as a tropical wave off the coast of Africa more than two weeks ago has now set records and claimed the spot as the first hurricane to develop during the 2024 Atlantic season.
"One thing that strikes me with Beryl is that it formed in that tropical strip way out in the Atlantic where storms from Africa can ramp up. During the whole summer, more than half of the storms that get names in the Atlantic come from Africa, and they travel through this main development region ," Jason Dunion, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 's Hurricane Program Field Director and a meteorologist, told Space.com.
With Beryl, everything fell into place for it to strengthen and continue on a path that included making three landfalls within a week; Carriacou Island in the south-eastern Caribbean Sea on July 1, the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico July 5, and near Matagorda, on July 8.
