Hurricane beryl
-
Hurricane Beryl became the earliest storm on record during the Atlantic hurricane season to reach Category 5.
-
Typically, the first major hurricanes in the Atlantic form in September due to ocean temperatures.
-
Beryl’s early formation as a Category 5 hurricane is linked to unusually warm ocean temperatures.
-
Record-breaking ocean heat content (OHC) has contributed to the storm’s intensity.
-
Deep warm water prevented cooling at the surface, allowing the storm to maintain its strength.
-
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters near the equator when warm, moist air rises, creating a low-pressure area.
-
As air from surrounding areas fills in and rises, it cools, forming clouds and thunderstorms.
