I don’t have direct access to current rainfall totals right now. Based on the latest widely reported events, Jamaica was hit by Hurricane Melissa in late October 2025, bringing extreme rainfall and widespread flooding in affected parishes, with preliminary reports indicating substantial rainfall totals in the order of several hundred millimeters in the hardest-hit areas. However, rainfall measurements vary by location and are subject to updates as assessments continue. Context and what to expect next
- Extreme rainfall: The storm's slow movement produced intense rain bands, leading to flash floods and landslides in many communities.
- Varied geography: Coastal and mountainous regions experienced different totals; some highland areas typically record higher rainfall.
- Official tallies: Final, verified rainfall totals are usually released by Jamaica’s Meteorological Service and local authorities in the days following the storm, often accompanied by storm reports and damage assessments.
If you’d like, I can pull in up-to-date, verified rainfall figures from authoritative sources and present them in a clear summary with location-by- location totals and the time periods over which the rain fell.
