From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tropical Storm Beryl was a strong Cape Verde-type tropical storm of the 1982 Atlantic hurricane season. The third tropical cyclone of the season, Beryl formed on August 28 from a tropical wave that exited the coast of Africa on the previous day. Beryl quickly strengthened into a tropical storm while remaining just south of the Cape Verde Islands. Moving further from the coast of Africa, Tropical Storm Beryl continued to strengthen and nearly reached hurricane status on August 31. It remained weak for the rest of the duration and headed nearly due west until dissipating on September 6.
