Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Mon Jul 1 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

June was very busy across the Atlantic basin.  Three named storms 
formed in June with one hurricane, Beryl, which became a major 
hurricane by the end of the month. Compared to a long-term June 
average of a named storm forming only every other year.  Alberto 
brought tropical-storm-force winds to portions of Texas and the 
northwest coast of Mexico.  Beryl, located near the Windward Islands 
at the end of the month, rapidly intensified to the season's first 
major hurricane, and is also the earliest category 4 hurricane on 
record in the basin. Chris formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico 
at the end of the month. 

In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), which measures the 
strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes, activity 
in the basin so far in 2024 has been well above average compared to 
the long-term (1991-2020) mean.

Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at the 
National Hurricane Center website at
