Hurricane Melissa made landfall in southwestern Jamaica near the New Hope area, roughly on the border region between Westmoreland and St. Elizabeth parishes, as a Category 5 hurricane with extreme winds and catastrophic impacts anticipated. This aligns with late-October 2025 reports describing Jamaica as bearing the storm’s fiercest impact in the modern record, with extensive wind, rain, and associated damage.
If you need, I can pull the latest official confirmations from the National Hurricane Center or other agencies and summarise the confirmed landfall location and current status.
