Hurricane Beryl, which has strengthened to a Category 5 storm, is setting the tone for a "very dangerous" hurricane season, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Tuesday.
Beryl swept through Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, leaving many households without power, and is expected to hit Jamaica on Wednesday and the Cayman Islands later in the week.
WMO spokesperson Clare Nullis told reporters in Geneva that it was “the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Central American basin.”
"It sets a precedent for what we fear is going to be a very, very, very active, very dangerous hurricane season, which will impact the entire basin," she added.
