A satellite captured spectacular imagery showing lightning within Hurricane Beryl’s eye wall as the storm moved northward toward the Windward Islands in the Caribbean on Sunday, June 30.

The Category 4 hurricane was expected to bring life-threatening wind, rain, and storm surges to Grenada, St Vincent, and the Grenadines by Monday morning, and could impact Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands later in the week, according to the US National Hurricane Center.

How the hot water that fueled Hurricane Beryl foretells a scary storm season
Hurricane Beryl's explosive growth into an unprecedented early whopper of a storm shows the literal hot water the Atlantic and Caribbean are in right now and the kind of season ahead, experts said. Beryl smashed multiple records even before its major-hurricane-level winds approached land. The powerful storm is acting more like monsters that form in the peak of hurricane season thanks mostly to water temperatures as hot or hotter than the region normally gets in September, five hurricane experts told The Associated Press.

Politicians raised concerns on Monday about jobs not secured in Airbus' takeover of the bulk of production at Spirit AeroSystems plant in Belfast, one of Northern Ireland's biggest employers. Airbus' move to take control of the core activities at four Spirit plants, including in Belfast where the fuselage supplier employs around 3,600 people, was part of Boeing's $4.7 billion deal on Monday to buy back Spirit. Located yards from the shipyard that built the Titanic in East Belfast, the plant is by far the most important manufacturer left in the capital city, once one of the key industrial centres of the British empire.
