Hurricane Beryl is making its presence known in the Caribbean.

CNN reports at least three people were killed when it tipped through the Windward Islands earlier this week, and it’s currently hurtling across open waters nearing Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.

Newstalk ZB US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that it's the earliest category five hurricane to rise up in the Caribbean.

He says it has top wind speeds of 265 kilometres an hour and could threaten Texas in the coming days.

A hurricane warning is in effect for Jamaica and a hurricane watch for the Cayman Islands.
