Before passing almost directly over the Houston region on July 8, when it caused widespread power outages and contributed to dozens of deaths, Hurricane Beryl devastated multiple Caribbean islands and was the earliest Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic basin.

Hurricane names Beryl, Helene and Milton have been retired. The names Brianna, Holly and Miguel will replace them.

AccuWeather said it is predicting 13 to 18 named storms this year. Colorado State University is predicting 17, with nine total hurricanes and four hurricanes at Category 3 or above
