editNext came Hurricane Beryl, the earliest-forming Category 4 Atlantic hurricane on record in a season and the strongest June hurricane on record in the basin. After forming on June 28, 2024, in the Main Development Region to the west of Cabo Verde, the storm moved through the central tropical Atlantic while rapidly intensifying, while approaching the Windward Islands.
Records
Hurricane Beryl set several Atlantic tropical cyclone formation and records (back to 1851):
| Category | New Record | Old record and holder | Ref(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farthest east hurricane so early in the season | 49.3°W, June 29 | 58.9°W, June 27, 1933, Trinidad hurricane | [1][2] |
| Farthest east Category 3 hurricane so early in the season | 53.9°W, June 30 | 54.1°W, July 7, 1996, Hurricane Bertha | [1] |
| Earliest Category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic basin | June 30 | July 8, 2005, Hurricane Dennis | [1][3] |
Additionally, Beryl was the first system on record to undergo rapid intensification in the tropical Atlantic east of the Lesser Antilles in June.[1] It was also the strongest June Atlantic hurricane on record as measured by wind speed, surpassing Hurricane Audrey of 1957.[4][5]
Likely to be broken soon:
Earliest landfalling major hurricane in the Atlantic (current record: 1916 Gulf Coast hurricane, Category 3 landfall at Pascagoula, Mississippi, on July 5)[1]
Miscellaneous:
Beryl was the first June major hurricane since Alma in 1966.[6]
