MIAMI: Tropical Storm Beta formed on Thursday in the south-western Caribbean Sea, extending this year's record of named storms in the Atlantic hurricane season. Beta is the season's 23rd tropical storm, the most since record keeping began in 1851. The disturbance formed on Wednesday night but forecasters said it was not expected to threaten the United States. Richard Knabb, hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center, said it was not unusual to get storm activity toward the end of hurricane season, which ends November 30. ``It may not be over with Beta, but let's hope so,'' he said. At 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT), it was centered about 115 km south of San Andres Island and about 215 km east-southeast of Bluefields, Nicaragua. A hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning has been issued for the islands of San Andres and Providencia. Heavy rain and strong winds were expected there on Thursday. A tropical storm warning has been issued for the entire Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and adjacent islands. Hurricane conditions are possible in the next several days, forecasters said. Its maximum sustained winds were near 64 kph and was moving northwest near 6 kph. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 56 kph.
