Risk Analysis
Hurricane Beryl poses significant risks and potential impacts to the Caribbean islands, particularly affecting St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). It is moving towards the west at 22mph (35km/h) with an increased maximum sustained winds of 80mph (130 km/h). Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from the center, and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95km). The effects of the winds could be felt from Sunday night. Maximum sustained winds of 80 – 110 mph (129 – 177 km/h) or greater are expected across St. Vincent and the Grenadines, with possible higher winds offshore. Rainfall accumulations of 4 to 6 inches (100 to 150mm) are likely across St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Marine conditions are expected to be very rough and hazardous with sea-swells exceeding 4.0m (13ft) and possibly higher ~8.0m (26ft), near the center of ‘Beryl’ during Monday. Storm surges are possible across SVG. Large and destructive waves/swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. The government of St Vincent and the Grenadines has urged everyone to be prepared by putting together emergency supplies and shelters are to be activated by 6 p.m. on Sunday 30th June, 2024. The SVGRC continues to support through continuous sharing of updates on the weather and organizing volunteers to support shelter operations.
