The initial significant Atlantic hurricane of the year made its way through the Caribbean this week, causing significant damage along the way before reaching the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Hurricane Beryl, which reached its highest Category 1 storm level while moving westward, is the most advanced hurricane reported so early in the year, underscoring the destructive impacts of the climate crisis. The increasing heat of the water in the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea has played a role in making the hurricane season more severe. According to Seth Borenstein, a science writer for the Associated Press, this hurricane has set new records by forming earlier and reaching higher categories compared to past hurricane seasons. It is being likened to other record-breaking seasons, such as the busy 1933 hurricane season. The increasing temperatures of the water in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea have played a part in making the hurricane season more severe. The severe weather incident comes after alerts from the UN weather agency, which issued a “red alert” due to record-breaking temperatures in 2024. In Latin America, there is a growing frequency of extreme weather events caused by climate change. Hurricane season starts as Latin America shifts from the El Niño weather pattern to the La Niña pattern.
