The official start of the tropical storm and hurricane season in the Atlantic and Caribbean for the 2024 season did get off to a fast start. At the end of last June, a very rare Category 5 hurricane, Beryl, formed that made landfall in Carriacou, Grenada, with sustained winds of 150 miles per hour July 1. The storm eventually made another landfall near Matagorda, Texas, with winds around 80 miles per hour.
Tropical Storm Chris hit eastern Mexico resulting in widespread flooding June 30. Hurricane Debby made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 and then a second landfall in South Carolina in early August. In mid-August, Hurricane Ernesto formed and brushed the eastern coastline of Canada’s Newfoundland.
