United Nations Calls for Preparedness for New Storms After Devastating Beryl Hurricane

The "Beryl" hurricane, which struck Caribbean basin countries at the beginning of July, is the first in the series of powerful Atlantic storms for 2024. This was announced by experts from the United Nations World Meteorological Organization, as reported on the agency's website.

Researchers indicate that Beryl reached the maximum category five strength at a record early stage, showcasing incredible rapid intensification. The WMO noted that the storm is currently moving towards Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.

It is expected to exit into the Gulf of Mexico, where it may intensify again, fueled by warm waters, before hitting the shores of Texas in the United States.

The meteorologists of the UN climate agency have characterized "Beryl" as a prototype for future tropical storms. These storms will represent weather systems that rapidly intensify to category five.

This trend signifies an increased danger for people, as such storms will be accompanied not only by the most powerful winds but also by heavy rainfall, along with intensified flooding due to torrential rains and storm surges.

Previously, scientists had stated that the "Beryl" hurricane had surpassed all records.
