Hurricane Melissa already hit Jamaica in the past; it is not an upcoming storm.

When it hit Jamaica

  • Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28, 2025, striking near New Hope/Belmont in Westmoreland in the early afternoon.
  • At landfall it was a Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds near 185 mph, the strongest storm on record to hit Jamaica.

What that means for “when does it hit”

  • If the question is about a future impact, there is no forecast for a new Hurricane Melissa currently heading toward Jamaica; the known Hurricane Melissa was a 2025 event that has already passed.
  • For current or imminent threats, residents and travelers should follow real‑time updates from the Jamaica Meteorological Service and the National Hurricane Center rather than relying on past hurricane timelines.
