The Jamaican government has issued a hurricane watch with the storm expected to arrive on Wednesday (3 July).
The US National Hurricane Center warned Beryl could bring “life-threatening” winds and storm surge to the Caribbean island country later this week. At least one person has died so far.
The hurricane has now been upgraded to category 5, meaning it carries winds of in excess of 155mph, and is predicted to hit southeast Mexico by the end of the week.
