Hurricane Melissa already made landfall in 2025, so there is no upcoming landfall expected from this storm now in January 2026.

Key landfall timing

  • Hurricane Melissa made its main, catastrophic landfall in Jamaica on 28 October 2025.
  • Reports describe landfall “near New Hope, Westmoreland” on Jamaica’s south coast around midday local time, as a Category 5 hurricane with winds near 185 mph.

Other impacts after Jamaica

  • After crossing Jamaica, Melissa went on to make landfall in eastern Cuba on 29 October 2025 as a weaker Category 3 hurricane before continuing northward and gradually weakening.
  • By early November 2025, the system had transitioned and dissipated, so it is no longer an active threat in 2026.

If you meant a different “Melissa”

The timing above is for the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Melissa. If you were asking about a different storm or future system with the same name, there is currently no credible forecast of a new “Melissa” making landfall, and any such claim would be speculation beyond official weather guidance as of January 2026.
