Hurricane Beryl's intensity is once again on the upswing as it charges toward the Caribbean, where it is striking the islands with powerful winds and flooding storm surge. Beryl made landfall on the island of Carriacou at 11 a.m. AST today with 140 mph sustained winds and was upgraded to 150 mph winds soon afterward.
On Saturday afternoon, Beryl reached hurricane status with winds of 75 mph just 24 hours after the system was first formed as a tropical depression over the Atlantic Ocean. Beryl first become a major Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 115 mph on Sunday morning, and the intense hurricane continues to move westward at 20 mph, a brisk pace for a hurricane on Monday morning.
Beryl became the strongest hurricane for so early in the season in this sector of the Atlantic and may be the strongest system to ever cross Grenada and portions of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

i never saw a more focused spaghetti graph than this one. It’s heading straight for Belize.
“It’s heading straight for Belize.”
Yeah today it is.....still a little early to determine landfall I think.
Beryl? We naming hurricanes after anti-Trump federal judges now?
Ping!................
That would put it in the Top 10% of all Caribbean hurricanes in the last 100 years.
On July 1st?
I am very skeptical - but no way to factually challenge it.
Me thinks it is the dust from the Sahara winds that are keeping this storm away from Florida. Keeping it south in the Caribbean.
Today is July 1st. Right on time!
May - Nay
June - Too soon
July - It’ll try
August - It Must
September - Remember
October - All over
See: Weather Bell. dot com.
For as far back as the Galveston original ‘cane— the family lore was like you posted, with some different phrasing
June too soon.
July might Fly
August May Just
September Remember
October It’s Over.
I am thinking more in terms of the water temperature, which fuels the wind strength.
The Atlantic Ocean off northwest Africa is unusually cool, which is not helpful for storm formation.
East of the Caribbean, the water is warmer than usual, but not hugely warmer.
A hurricane of this strength - if 140 mph sustained is correct - is very unusual on July 1st.
They show that with 960 milibars pressure. Highest wind I e ever seen for that pressure. Kind of suspect.
No it’s 2 high pressure zones north of the gulf of Mexico.
Beryl is barreling!
These days, everything is “historic”. It’s the greatest, the biggest, the worst, the warmest, the coldest, the longest, the shortest, the fastest, etc...

You bet. Alberto hit Mexico but there was flooding in Galveston. I watch the path but these storms are very unpredictable. Harvey was such a storm.
