Hurricane watches are in effect for St Lucia, Grenada, and St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Beryl has strengthened into a hurricane in the Atlantic and is forecast to become a major storm as it nears the south-east Caribbean, the US National Hurricane Centre has announced.

Beryl’s centre is forecast to pass about 26 miles south of Barbados, said Sabu Best, director of the island’s meteorological service’s director. “We need to be ready,” Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley said in a public address on Friday. “You and I know when these things happen, it is better to plan for the worst and pray for the best.”

Mark Spence, manager of a hostel in Barbados, said in a phone interview that he was calm about the approaching storm.
