Miami, July 7 (EFE) .- Category 1 hurricane Beryl lost strength in the last hours on its way to the Lesser Antilles, with maximum sustained winds of 120 km / h with Stronger gusts, and we expect that it will continue to weaken this weekend.

Meteorologists predict that the center of Beryl will be approaching the Lesser Antilles during the weekend and it will cross the chain of islands in the last hour of Sunday or Monday
They 're going to get there. Wait for the little hurricane, with hurricane winds that extend from its center up to 10 miles (20 km) and tropical storms up to 35 miles (55 km), turn to the northwest in the next few hours, where you could also increase your traveling speed.
