  • Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on 28 October 2025, striking near New Hope/Belmont in Westmoreland Parish in the early afternoon.
  • It hit as a Category 5 hurricane, with extremely intense winds and pressure, and is described as the strongest storm ever to strike Jamaica.

Current relevance for “expected to hit”

  • For present or future storms, rely on official updates from the Meteorological Service of Jamaica, the National Hurricane Center, and local emergency management, as they give the most current watches, warnings, and timing.
