Cyclone Melissa Grows Stronger As It Moves Toward the Island Nation
Hurricane Melissa is forecast to strengthen into a infrequent highest-level storm as it shifts in the direction of the Caribbean island, causing dangerous sudden floods and rock falls.
This weather system, which recorded wind speeds of up to 120 mph as of 0600 Greenwich Mean Time, is currently turning north-west in the Caribbean Sea and is anticipated to make landfall by early next week, according to hurricane specialists.
Alerts of electricity outages and damage to infrastructure have been announced as this storm produces up to 76cm of precipitation and coastal flooding as high as thirteen feet above typical tides. "Take cover without delay," locals have been urged.
The cyclone is the thirteenth cyclone in the current Atlantic hurricane season, which usually concludes in November.
Most Intense Storm Risk
A highest-level storm is the most powerful category, with sustained winds of at least 157 miles per hour.
While this storm is projected to reduce in intensity to a category four storm before reaching the island, experts said there was "minimal real distinction in the total effects" upon making contact with land, and that the hurricane will be "at least that intensity" when it impacts the nation.
Critical Safety Steps
With tropical storm-level wind and rainfall predicted to begin well before it crosses Jamaica's central region - possibly even the national capital - advisories indicate that "readiness efforts must be accelerated".
"An extended timeframe of damaging winds and intense precipitation are underway and will cause devastating and dangerous rapid water accumulation and numerous mudslides," advised weather authorities.
Jamaican Prime Minister the official stated: "I realize that there are numerous residents who are anxious, who are very concerned, and rightfully so: concern is justified.
"Yet the best way to manage nervousness and any apprehension and concern is to stay ready."
Inhabitants are being told to protect their properties with protective bags and timber panels, and to accumulate necessary supplies.
Wider Consequences
Warnings are also in effect for parts of Haiti such as the capital, Port au Prince, the adjacent nation and Cuba's eastern region, where the hurricane is anticipated to bring comparable impacts by the midweek period.
Mudslides presently generated by the cyclone have already killed two in the country, according to the nation's Civil Protection agency.
Expected Course
This weather system is predicted to move across Cuba by Wednesday before passing across the Antillas Mayores and out into the open ocean.
By the moment it reaches the Caribbean nation, it is predicted to have diminished to a Category 3 cyclone.
Environmental Background
Although it is challenging to associate specific storms to climate change, scientists say it is making weather phenomena more common and more severe.
Warmer oceans generate additional humidity in the air, aiding in the creation of hurricanes.
Ahead of the beginning of the current Caribbean cyclone season, meteorological authorities predicted increased storm frequency, referencing heated marine conditions and likely stronger monsoon activity around West Africa - where Atlantic storms frequently develop.
