The storm was forecast to start losing intensity, but it will still be near major hurricane strength when it passes near or over Jamaica early on Wednesday, according to the National Hurricane Centre.
Hurricane Beryl is hurtling towards Jamaica as a powerful category four storm, after killing at least six people in the southeast Caribbean. The destructive weather pattern was forecast to start losing intensity on Tuesday and was downgraded from a category five hurricane - the most powerful type.
It is, however, not a time to panic.' It is the earliest time of the year a category four or five hurricane has ever formed in the Atlantic, fuelled by unusually warm waters, officials said. Grenada's Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell described the situation on the island of Carriacou, near Grenada, as 'grim' and said emergency teams were on their way.
