Hurricane the storm Grows Stronger As It Moves Towards the Island Nation
Cyclone Melissa is projected to become a rare category five storm as it veers towards the Caribbean island, delivering life-threatening flash flooding and rock falls.
The cyclone, which registered wind speeds of up to 195 km/h as of 0600 Greenwich Mean Time, is currently turning north-west in the Caribbean region and is projected to make landfall by midweek, based on data from hurricane specialists.
Alerts of electricity outages and disruption to utilities have been issued as this storm generates up to 30 inches of rain and storm surges as high as thirteen feet above ground. "Take cover without delay," locals have been advised.
The cyclone is the 13th hurricane in the ongoing Atlantic storm period, which normally finishes in November.
Most Intense Hurricane Risk
A highest-level storm is the strongest type, with wind speeds of at least 252 km/h.
Although this storm is projected to reduce in intensity to a Category 4 storm before reaching Jamaica, meteorologists said there was "minimal real distinction in the total effects" upon reaching the coast, and that the hurricane will be "just as powerful" when it impacts the island.
Critical Safety Steps
With tropical storm-level winds and rain predicted to begin long before it moves across Jamaica's central region - including potentially the city of Kingston - advisories state that "safety measures need to be finalized quickly".
"A multi-day period of damaging winds and heavy rainfall have begun and will cause catastrophic and life-threatening rapid water accumulation and many mudslides," advised climate experts.
The nation's leader the official stated: "I understand that there are many Jamaicans who are concerned, who are deeply troubled, and appropriately: worry is natural.
"Yet the optimal approach to address nervousness and any apprehension and anxiety is to be prepared."
Residents are being advised to secure their homes with protective bags and plywood sheets, and to accumulate essentials.
Broader Effects
Alerts are also ongoing for areas in the neighboring country such as the capital, Port au Prince, the adjacent nation and the eastern part of Cuba, where this storm is projected to bring similar effects by the middle portion of the coming week.
Rock slides currently triggered by the cyclone have caused two deaths in the country, according to the nation's Civil Protection agency.
Future Path
Melissa is predicted to pass over the island nation by the middle of the week before moving through the Greater Antilles and emerging into the Atlantic Ocean.
By the point it reaches the Caribbean nation, it is forecast to have diminished to a category three storm.
Climate Context
While it is hard to link individual weather events to environmental shifts, experts say it is resulting in weather phenomena more prevalent and more severe.
Increased sea temperatures produce more moisture in the environment, contributing to the development of hurricanes.
Before the start of this season's Caribbean cyclone season, meteorological authorities projected above-normal activity, citing elevated ocean temperatures and likely more intense weather patterns around West Africa - where tropical systems often form.
