class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melissa may well be the most powerful hurricane to hit Jamaica in recent times. But is this significant in itself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jamaica is a relatively tiny speck in the Caribbean. Hurricanes barrel across the Caribbean every year. What are the odds of a Cat 5 one making a direct hit on Jamaica? Most would just bypass the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, let\u2019s take a dispassionate look at the facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First, and most importantly of all, the death toll in Jamaica at the moment stands at four. This will likely increase over the next few days but is a remarkably low number at this stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Secondly, there is no evidence at all that Melissa made landfall with winds of 185 mph, something which has been widely reported across the media as fact. Let me repeat \u2013 NO EVIDENCE AT ALL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The claim is derived from wind speeds estimated from hurricane hunter aircraft data sometime prior to 11.00 AM EDT. Sustained winds were calculated at 160 kts, or 184 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"292\" data-attachment-id=\"411085\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=411085\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-576.png?fit=832%2C336&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"832,336\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-576.png?fit=723%2C292&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-576.png?resize=723%2C292&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A bulletin from the National Hurricane Center discussing Hurricane Melissa, highlighting its strengthening and reported wind speeds.\" class=\"wp-image-411085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-576.png?w=832&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-576.png?resize=300%2C121&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-576.png?resize=768%2C310&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/archive\/2025\/al13\/al132025.discus.029.shtml\">https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/archive\/2025\/al13\/al132025.discus.029.shtml<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The previous advisory was six hours earlier, so the aircraft data would have been collected sometime during that six-hour period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melissa made landfall at 1.00 PM, at least two hours after the aircraft data had been collected, when Melissa would still have been maybe 50 miles or more out at sea.

Or Okechobee? Or the Great Miami hurricane which wiped out Miami in 1926.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or the strongest US hurricane of the lot, the Labor Day storm in 1935? Or the second most powerful, Camille in 1969?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These, of course, are purely US hurricanes. Many more more wreaked havoc across the Caribbean and elsewhere. The worst of all was the Great Hurricane of 1780, which is estimated to killed 27500 dead in Martinique, Barbados and elsewhere. This is an astonishing number by any account. Winds have since been estimated at over 200 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A closer look at Camille exemplifies well just how observation methods have changed over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1969, satellite technology was pretty much useless as far as monitoring hurricanes were concerned, other than for tracking purposes. Hurricane hunter aircraft tended to be pot luck as well, unable to fly inside hurricanes for hours on end in order to find the peak winds, which they routinely do nowadays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/archive\/storm_wallets\/atlantic\/atl1969-prelim\/camille\/TCR-1969Camille.pdf\">official report<\/a>&nbsp;stated that hurricane hunters had estimated sustained winds of 190 mph, based on dropsonde data. But this was ten hours before landfall and no further flights were made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official data for Camille states that winds at landfall were 175 mph. These were derived from two land based recordings of barometric pressure, both of which were close to the eyewall and both instruments were inspected later and confirmed as reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comparing Camille and Melissa then is comparing chalk and cheese.
