I don’t have live access to current hurricane advisories in this turn, but based on recent reputable forecasts, Hurricane Melissa was expected to hit Jamaica in the vicinity of Tuesday, October 28, 2025, with potentially catastrophic winds and heavy rainfall. For the most accurate timing and local impact, check official sources immediately, such as the National Hurricane Center, Jamaica Meteorological Service, or your local emergency management office. What to consider for Jamaica
- Likely timing: Landfall or near-landfall window during Tuesday local time, with the storm moving slowly enough to prolong severe conditions in affected areas.
- Impacts to expect: Catastrophic winds, life-threatening flood threats, and possible landslides in mountainous regions; storm surge and flash flooding are major hazards, especially in low-lying coastal zones and poorly drained areas.
- Preparedness actions:
- Follow official evacuation orders and shelter guidance from local authorities.
- Secure outdoor items, reinforce vulnerable structures, and ensure emergency kits (water, food, medications, flashlights, batteries) are ready.
- Avoid flooded roads and seek higher ground if your area is in a flood-prone or landslide-prone zone.
If you’d like, I can monitor for updates and provide a concise brief with the latest official timings and region-specific advice as soon as you confirm you want ongoing updates.
