WMO calls for robust storm warning systems after Hurricane Beryl: The UN Meteorological Agency (WMO) has urged the need for robust early warning systems on the back of Hurricane Beryl ’s destruction in the Caribbean, Mexico, and southern US this past week, UN Geneva reports. This year will experience an intense hurricane season with up to 25 named storms expected to develop by November, the WMO says. Eight to 13 of these could develop into hurricanes. “We need to be especially vigilant this year due to near-record ocean heat in the region where Atlantic hurricanes form and the shift to La Niña conditions, which together create the conditions for increased storm formulation,” WMO Deputy Secretary-General said.
