Hurricane Melissa was an extremely powerful tropical cyclone that made a catastrophic landfall in Jamaica in late October 2025. By maximum sustained winds, it is tied with Hurricane Allen as the strongest Atlantic hurricane, and with Hurricane Dorian and the 1935 Labor Day hurricane as the strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane. Allen and Melissa are the only Atlantic hurricanes to attain maximum sustained winds of 190 mph (305 km/h). In terms of minimum central pressure, it is tied with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane as the third-most intense Atlantic hurricane on record, and was the second-most intense at landfall. Climate scientists analyzing Melissa concluded that human-driven climate change, which raises ocean temperatures, intensified the hurricane's destructive winds and rainfall. Category 5 hurricane: peak winds of 190 mph (165 knots), lowest pressure 892 mb. October 21 – November 1, 2025. Landfalls: October 28 at 185 mph, 18.1°N 78.0°W; October 29 at 115 mph, 20.0°N 76.2°W; October 29 at 90 mph, 23.1°N 75.0°W; October 30 at 90 mph, 24.0°N 74.5°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 34.3.
