Hurricane Beryl was the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the month of June. The second named storm, first hurricane and first major hurricane of the record-breaking 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Beryl caused extensive impacts across the Caribbean, and underwent what was, at the time, the fastest intensification on record in the Atlantic Ocean while moving south of Hispaniola on June 18, explosively intensifying from 75 mph to 160 mph in 18 hours. However, this record would only be held for a few weeks until Hurricane Gordon explosively intensified from 45 mph to 175 mph in the same period of time on August 7.

For only a few weeks, Beryl held the record as the quickest intensifying Atlantic hurricane on record intensifying by 85 mph from 75 mph to 160 mph in 18 hours, until Hurricane Gordon intensified by 130 mph from 45 mph to 175 mph in that same period of time just a few weeks later on August 7.
It had a ACE of 36.248% and a Hurricane Severity Index of 33.
Retirement[]
Due to the "absolute devastation" and high death toll caused by Beryl, the WMO retired it in Spring 2025, the name Beryl will never again be used for a Atlantic hurricane.
It was replaced with the name Barley for use in the 2030 Atlantic hurricane season.
