Beryl's deadly intensification was aided by unusually hot ocean temperatures, with seawater heated by the climate crisis providing the storm with extra energy.
Last year was the ocean's hottest on record, with marine heatwaves affecting 90% of the global oceans. Sea surface temperatures have broken records for 12 consecutive months.
The surge in ocean temperatures is making extreme storms like Beryl more likely to happen. Climate change is influencing the frequency and intensity of such events.
