The report stated that the hurricane hit the coasts of Quintana Ro At 05:05 local time (11:05 GMT), it is developing with maximum sustained winds of 115 kilometers per hour (km/h) and gusts of 140 km/h and is moving west-northwest at 24 km/h.

These conditions bring occasional heavy rain showers (150 to 250 millimeters (mm) in Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo, as well as intense occasional rain showers (75 to 150 mm) in Chiapas and Tabasco.
For this reason, the SMN has established a prevention zone for the effects of a tropical storm from Cabo Catoche, Quintana Roo to Campeche, Campeche.

According to forecasts, Beryl is expected to cross the central part of the Yucatan Peninsula this Friday and become a tropical storm in the southern Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Campeche and Yucatan, overnight.
After the meteor made landfall in Quintana Roo, the governor of the neighboring state of Yucatán, Mauricio Vila, indicated that the 106 municipalities of Yucatán were on red alert, that is, in maximum danger, due to the meteor’s entry into the state of Beryl.

“The Early Warning System for Cyclones has been put on red alert for the entire state of Yucatán,” the state president warned, advising all residents to take appropriate precautions and stay informed through official channels.
After Beryl’s arrival in Mexican territory last Friday, Civil Protection Coordinator Laura Velázquez pointed out that so far no injuries or deaths have been reported, but that there has been damage to infrastructure.
Velázquez specified that they are “in the emergency phase” and that they remain on “red alert,” which means extreme danger in Quintana Roo.

In addition, he said the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) reported that Tulum, Cozumel and Isla Mujeres are experiencing electricity problems.
Velázquez said that so far 58 temporary shelters have been set up housing 2,193 people and that the airports of Tulum, Cozumel and Cancun have not suffered any damage.
Authorities noted that 25,611 elements have been deployed in the area to assist with the rescue efforts.
Meanwhile, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador advised the people of Quintana Roo and Yucatán not to leave their homes because there are still fallen trees, which could pose a risk to the population.
Beryl, which became a Category 5 hurricane, is the first of the season and sets an “alarming precedent” as a cyclone of maximum intensity has never formed in the Atlantic Ocean at this time of year, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned on Tuesday.
