Has the name Beryl been retired?

Yes. Beryl is on NHC’s list of retired Atlantic names because of the 2024 storm. It is one of 100 names retired there since 1954 (Tropical Cyclone Naming History and Retired Names).

A name is retired when a storm was so deadly or costly that using the name again would be insensitive; the World Meteorological Organization then picks a new name with the same first letter at its annual meeting.

When will Beryl be used again?

It won’t be. Retired names are not used again on the Atlantic lists. Its place on the list, the B slot, now belongs to Brianna, on the 2030 Atlantic list, which is next used in 2030.
