My thoughts are with the people of the #Caribbean as #Hurricane Beryl approaches the Windward Islands with potentially life-threatening winds and coastal flooding. The US National Hurricane Center, which is the World Meteorological Organization regional centre, has issued Hurricane Warnings for Barbados, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada and Tobago. Never has a tropical cyclone intensified so rapidly to Category 3/4 so early in the season. This season is expected to be extremely active, not least because of very warm ocean temperatures. Small islands are on the frontline of extreme weather and #climatechange impacts and are priorities for many WMO initiatives and for #EarlyWarningsForAll. This image is from NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration GOES East satellite. Latest information at hurricanes.gov
Given the clear eye and symmetrical CDO, this image likely corresponds to a high T-number. Based on the image, it appears the tropical cyclone is very intense, likely in the upper range of the Dvorak scale (T6.5 to T7.0).
There has been close to no reporting of it in Australia
Forewarned is being forearmed. The government and the agencies in the cone of hurricane Beryl’s track should adapt precautionary measures to protect life and property in their respective Areas of Responsibility. Thanx for timely warning Celeste Saulo
Coming to the Yucatan later this week!
