Hurricane Melissa track: Category 5 storm’s route and destruction timeline across Jamaica and Caribbean
Hurricane Melissa track: Category 5 storm’s route and destruction timeline across Jamaica and Caribbean
Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm that struck Jamaica in late October 2025, is now tied for the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). The storm caused catastrophic damage across Jamaica and other Caribbean nations, killing at least 95 people and leaving millions of dollars in destruction.
Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28 with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph. After further analysis, the NHC on Wednesday reclassified post-landfall winds at 190 mph, tying Hurricane Allen in 1980 for the strongest sustained winds ever measured in the Atlantic. This also put Melissa on par with Hurricane Dorian in 2018 and the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane.
NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters conducted missions to study the storm’s intensity. They deployed a dropsonde, a weather instrument that measures pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind speeds inside a storm. The dropsonde recorded a wind gust of 252 mph inside Melissa, breaking the previous world record of 240 mph set by Typhoon Megi in 2010, according to Fox Weather report.
Melissa’s strength made it the most powerful and costliest hurricane to ever hit Jamaica. The storm destroyed homes, infrastructure, and crops, leaving at least 45 people dead in Jamaica alone. Other countries in the Caribbean, including Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, also suffered extensive damage and fatalities.
The hurricane affected multiple island nations, bringing severe flooding, landslides, and widespread power outages. Rescue operations and relief efforts have continued in the hardest-hit areas. The NHC’s report also confirms that the storm’s impact was felt across the Caribbean, marking Melissa as one of the most deadly and destructive storms.
The NHC report stated that the storm’s extreme sustained winds and post-landfall wind speeds. Melissa’s 190 mph maximum sustained winds place it alongside historical hurricanes, demonstrating the increasing intensity of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic. Meteorologists say that data collected from Hurricane Hunters and advanced instruments like dropsondes are crucial to understanding the dynamics of such extreme storms.
The storm’s high winds, massive rainfall, and storm surge combined to create a disaster of historic proportions. Governments and aid agencies continue to coordinate relief and recovery efforts across the Caribbean.
