Hurricane Melissa Closes in on Jamaica | BBC News

Oct 28, 2025 | Hurricane Melissa - the world's strongest storm of the year - is due to make landfall in Jamaica in the next few hours.

Some forecasters say the storm could remain a category five when it reaches the island, although we don't know exactly when it'll make landfall.

Widespread power cuts are already impacting the island, with more than 200,000 without electricity.
