Hurricane Melissa dies over the cold waters of the North Atlantic » Yale Climate Connections In what will hopefully be the final act of the suddenly historic 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, ex-Melissa will be sweeping past Newfoundland, Canada late tonight as an extratropical storm with Cat 1...

The final act of the Hurricane #Melissa 10-day rampage will be tonight in southeastern Newfoundland, bringing an end to the historic hurricane's impacts.

The eye of Major Hurricane Melissa has wasted no time warming again after it closed during its passage over the complex terrain of Jamaica. A nice new burst of convection in the eyewall as well. The question is how much she can re-organize and re-strengthen prior to Cuba.

...CATEGORY 5 MELISSA MAKES LANDFALL IN JAMAICA... ...ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL HURRICANE LANDFALLS ON RECORD IN THE ATLANTIC BASIN... Melissa has made landfall in southwestern Jamaica near New Hope with estimated maximum sustained winds of 185 mph (295 km/h) and an estimated minimum central pressure of 892 mb (26.34 inches). THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION! DO not leave your shelter as the eye passes over, as winds will quickly, and rapidly increase on the other side of the eye. Residents should remain in place through the passage of these life-threatening conditions. To protect yourself from wind, the best thing you can do is put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. An interior room without windows, ideally one where you can also avoid falling trees, is the safest place you can be in a building. You can cover yourself with a mattress and wear a helmet for added protection. The next position update will be provided with the intermediate advisory at 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC) .

#Melissa makes landfall in southwestern Jamaica near New Hope as a powerful category 5 hurricane. For the latest updates visit hurricanes.gov

This is hands down the most extraordinary dropsonde in Atlantic recon history.

Wow. This is easily the most ridiculous dropsonde I’ve ever seen.

188 knot mean winds in the low-levels with gusts over 250 mph

Absolutely scary and historic hurricane headed into SW Jamaica this morning

The eye of extremely powerful Major Hurricane Melissa, one of the most intense tropical cyclones ever observed in the Atlantic basin, is now imminently about to begin coming on-shore. Her powerful eyewall containing destructive winds now lashing (W) Jamaica. Terrible, absolutely terrible.

October 28 9:00am ET: #Melissa is now a 180 mph storm with a central pressure down to 896 millibars.

Only 5 other known Atlantic storms have had stronger wind speeds (Allen, Dorian, Wilma, Gilbert, Labor Day (1935)).

2024 & 2025: First back-to-back years with <900mb Atlantic hurricanes on record.

#Melissa unfortunately is still intensifying. A 9am EDT Tropical Cyclone Update indicates that winds are up to 180 mph, with an estimated minimum pressure of 896 mb.

You can see how GLM lightning has 📈 in the past hour, encircling the eye, with eye WV temp still increasing!

This meso loop of #Melissa from CIRA is absolutely stunning at it makes its closes in on landfall in southwestern Jamaica.

Line graph time series of annual mean sea surface temperature anomalies from 1982 to 2024 in the Caribbean Sea during September to November. There is a long-term increasing trend and 2024 is the warmest on record. Anomalies are relative to 1982-2010.

Here's a look at recent warming in the Caribbean during the September to November period since 1982. This is driven by human-caused climate change and fuels these powerful hurricanes. 🌊

Waiting on a dropsonde to confirm, but Melissa is most certainly below 900 hPa right now.

Tragically we are about to witness the 2nd or 1st deepest Atlantic hurricane landfall by min MSLP on record in Jamaica.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

At 901 millibars minimum central barometric pressure, #Melissa is the strongest hurricane ever recorded so late in a season in the Atlantic. It is also the 8th strongest Atlantic #hurricane during any part of the season. It is now sadly moving north-northeast towards #Jamaica.

During Melissa’s rapid intensification the storm drifted slowly over exceptionally warm ocean waters that were 1.4°C (2.5°F) warmer than average — these conditions were made up to 700 times more likely because of human-caused climate change. (via @climatecentral.org) 1/2

The western end of Jamaica where #Melissa is projected to make landfall has the least well-built structures of anyplace on the island. Graphic is from a 2021 paper, "Poverty and hurricane risk exposure in Jamaica": www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Jamaica braces for Cat 5 Hurricane Melissa, Earth's strongest storm of 2025 » Yale Climate Connections A remarkable three of the Atlantic's five hurricanes this year have hit Cat 5.

Hurricane #Melissa is on track to be Jamaica's strongest hurricane strike on record. Many superlatives to discuss in today's post, including a rough ride for the Hurricane Hunters: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/10/jama...

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

🚨 None of the UN IPCC models capture what NASA satellites are seeing.

We should assume and prepare for the worst, as there is a non-zero chance of 3°C of global warming by 2050.

We better assume that it will happen and/or try to make sure that it doesn't happen.

🌊🌡📈 Sea Surface Temperature of the North Pacific is (still) off the chart.

It takes >3000 times as much heat to warm water than air.

Based on NASA observations, this rapid rate of warming is expected to continue.

What the Hell is Going On in the North Pacific?!

Hurricane Gabrielle makes a run for the Azores » Yale Climate Connections A hurricane watch is up, while two other Atlantic systems percolate, and far south China braces for Typhoon Ragasa.

Telltale sign of this odd Atlantic season: The #Azores are on track to experience a hurricane, #Gabrielle, before anyplace in North or Central America or the Caribbean. Meanwhile, Hong Kong and points west are bracing for #Ragasa, still at Cat 4 strength.

yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/hurr...

Now a Category 4, #Gabrielle's satellite presentation continues to improve. Great time to watch the mesoscale loop as the sun goes down!

Supertyphoon Ragasa now fixed at a mind-blowing 922 hPa/140kts and displaying structure indicative of this extreme strength. IR is making me think of that famous "skull" image from Matthew

No summer heat wave ever made what happened today. On Sept 20th!
One of the most extreme event Europe has ever seen.
Absolutely historic

SOUTH AMERICA HEAT WAVE

Brutal heat today with up to 43.4C at Base Jara in PARAGUAY
But this is JOKE to what's coming
The most insane and extreme September heat in South Hemisphere history with hundreds of records in Argentina,Paraguay,Bolivia and Brazil:44C+ and 30C at night!

August 2025 ,according to NOAA was Earth’s third-warmest August and June–August period on record behind 2023 and 2024.

Arctic sea ice extent was the 7th smallest August extent on record.
The Antarctic sea ice extent was the 3rd smallest

SUMMER 2025 IN SPAIN- HOTTEST IN HISTORY

you can see how 2025 was the hottest summer in most of stations.

Another round of weird peak-season quiet in the Atlantic tropics » Yale Climate Connections Resilient Hurricane Kiko finally weakens as it brushes Hawaii to the north.

Well, it's the climatological peak week of hurricane season for the Atlantic, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of activity. The latest from @bhensonweather.bsky.social and I: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/anot...
