HeadlineJul 01, 2024

Hurricane Beryl is making landfall on the Windward Islands, with meteorologists warning the Category 3 storm will bring life-threatening winds and storm surge across southeastern Caribbean nations. Hurricane warnings were issued in Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadine Islands, Grenada and Tobago. Over the weekend, Beryl reached Category 4 status, becoming the earliest such Atlantic hurricane on record. It’s being fueled by an unprecedented ocean heat wave driven by the climate crisis.
