Hurricane Melissa ravaged southeastern Jamaica when it made landfall there last week, leaving behind evident flooding and deforestation in this imagery from Suomi-NPP.

Earlier today, Hurricane Melissa transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone.

Melissa will continue to weaken as it moves northeast across the Atlantic Ocean, and is forecast to make a close approach near Newfoundland this evening.

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica experienced a devastating loss of power across the country. In this before and after image, NOAA-21 used the Day-Night Band to observe the significant decrease of city lights after the storm compared to a standard night. (8/8)

This image of Hurricane Melissa making landfall in Jamaica contains the visible (band 2) product from the GOES-19 weather satellite at 17:00 UTC on 2025-10-28.

Around midday on October 28, the clear eye at the center of Hurricane Melissa crossed over the southwestern coast of Jamaica, officially making landfall on the island nation near the town of New Hope while still maintaining its Category 5 status. (7/8)

As the Earth’s terminator revealed Hurricane Melissa on the morning of October 28, 2025, GOES-19 captured a breathtaking scene of sunrise on the Category 5 storm. (5/8)

This image of Hurricane Melissa at night contains the Day-Night Band product from the NOAA-20 weather satellite at 06:41 UTC on 2025-10-28.

As Melissa neared closer to Jamaica, NOAA-20 utilized the Day-Night Band to observe the hurricane at night due to its sensitivity to low levels of light. This also allowed it to capture lightning flashes in its outer bands and city lights from the islands of the Caribbean. (4/8)

This image of very warm waters in the Caribbean Sea near Tropical Storm Melissa contains the GeoSST product from the GOES-19 weather satellite at 18:30 UTC on 2025-10-24.

Prior to even becoming a hurricane, Melissa was already predicted to become a very powerful storm. That was due in part to the extremely warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. This imagery shows the sea surface temperatures ahead of Melissa when it was a tropical storm. (3/8)

This image of a Category 5 Hurricane Melissa contains the infrared (band I-5) product from the NOAA-21 weather satellite at 18:59 UTC on 2025-10-27.

Melissa achieved Category 5 status on October 27, 2025, continuing to further strengthen throughout the day. When NOAA-21 orbited overhead that afternoon, it witnessed extremely cold brightness temperatures in its cloud tops, a sign of a very intense storm. (2/8)

This image of lightning in the eye of Hurricane Melissa contains the visible (band 2) and group energy density (GLM) products from the GOES-19 weather satellite at 17:27 UTC on 2025-10-27.

Hurricane Melissa was one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic basin, with winds of 185 mph (300 km/h) at its peak. This view of Melissa at Category 5 strength shows its intensity, as a lightning-packed eye wall circles the center of the storm. (1/8)

Hurricane Melissa spent over three days as a major hurricane, becoming one of the strongest Atlantic storms on record.

This loop from Saturday night to Wednesday morning follows Hurricane Melissa during its time as at least a Category 3 storm.

Hurricane Melissa heads northeastward toward Bermuda after crossing the Bahamas.

The storm is currently Category 2 strength.

While passing over the Bahamas today, bursts of convection occur within Hurricane Melissa as it attempts to re-strengthen.

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa yesterday, runoff flows from the south of Jamaica and into the Caribbean Sea, while upwelling of the seafloor can be seen nearby.

This startling imagery was captured by the NOAA-20 and NOAA-21 polar-orbiting satellites.

NOAA-20 captured spectacular imagery of Hurricane Melissa as it made landfall on Jamaica yesterday afternoon.

After passing over Jamaica yesterday, Hurricane Melissa made another landfall in southeastern Cuba last night.

Melissa has now moved back over water north of Cuba, and will traverse over the Bahamas later today.

Hurricane Melissa, now a Category 4 storm with an occluded eye, has crossed to the other side of Jamaica after making landfall a few hours ago.
