Satellite View of Hurricane Melissa

Handout photo dated on October 28, 2025 shows Hurricane Melissa, the most powerful storm to hit Jamaica in history, made landfall on the island with devastating force. With sustained winds reaching 298 km/h and a central pressure of 892 hPa, Melissa already ranks among the most intense hurricanes ever observed in the Atlantic basin. On that day, at 15:55 UTC, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites captured a vivid view of hurricane Melissa's eye just a few hours before it made landfall on the southern coast of Jamaica.
