Hurricane Melissa already hit Jamaica in the past; it is not an incoming storm anymore. The landfall occurred on October 28, 2025, so it will not be “hitting” Jamaica in the future again.

What actually happened

  • Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28, 2025, near New Hope/Belmont in Westmoreland Parish.
  • It struck as a Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds around 185 mph, making it the strongest storm on record to hit Jamaica.
  • The center moved across western Jamaica and exited off the north coast later that same day, then continued toward Cuba and the Bahamas.

If you’re in Jamaica now

  • There is no active Hurricane Melissa forecast for Jamaica at this time; it is a past event from the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
  • For any new or current tropical threats, always check:
    • The National Hurricane Center (NHC)
    • The Meteorological Service of Jamaica
    • Local emergency management updates and radio/TV alerts.

Safety pointers for future storms

  • Keep a basic hurricane kit ready (water, nonperishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, important documents).
  • Follow evacuation orders or shelter guidance from Jamaican authorities and avoid flood-prone or landslide-prone areas during heavy rain.
