Weather tracker: Tropical Storm Beryl makes landfall on Texas coast

Downgraded hurricane strengthens, bringing torrential rain, strong winds and flooding

After Tropical Storm Beryl broke records last week for being the earliest recorded category 5 Atlantic hurricane, the system has been barrelling towards the Texas coast where it made landfall on Monday.

Beryl was downgraded to a tropical storm crossing the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico on Friday, but was forecast to restructure and intensify as it moved into favourable conditions.
