Hurricane Beryl is heading towards Jamaica

As Hurricane Beryl continues to make its way towards Jamaica, the Caribbean island braces for potentially catastrophic winds and storm surges. With the storm now classified as a category five hurricane, the Jamaican government has issued a warning for residents to seek shelter, particularly those in low-lying and flood-prone areas.

Despite the looming threat, a waiter in Kingston described the atmosphere in the capital as calm. However, the mayor of Montego Bay is urging residents not to be complacent and to be prepared for anything that may come their way.

As the region prepares for the impact of Hurricane Beryl, the BBC News will continue to provide updates and coverage on this developing situation. Stay tuned for the latest news, analysis, and features as the storm approaches Jamaica and the wider Caribbean.
