    Hurricane Beryl continues to defy all known logic, now becoming the first June Category 4 hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin. I can’t even stress enough just how completely absurd that storm is.

    But that just means we have room for new records, like first cat 5 storm in June! We wouldn’t want to stop making WRs, right? /s

      Not the first category 4 though, just in that area (I think the furthest east category 4 in June?)

        Which one beat it in the Atlantic? Next I see is Dennis, which was around July 8th 2005. Then August 3rd in 1970. Pacific season starts earlier I think, so it beats it easily (May 25/26th in 2014 it looks like)
