Peak hurricane season isn’t typically until August or September, yet this year, ocean waters are already as hot as they are in mid-September. It’s only July. Hurricane Beryl—the earliest catastrophic hurricane on record—has already devastated parts of the Caribbean. It will likely bring more damage and loss of life as it moves on. According to the Prime Minister of Grenada—which was impacted in the storm—Beryl is “clear and overwhelming evidence of the fact that we are constantly facing an existential threat to our way of life.” Learn more at https://wapo.st/4cJJcpO #hurricaneBeryl #severeweather #climatechange #stormdamage
