Hurricane Melissa was one of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit the Caribbean.

The atmospheric and ocean conditions that led to the rapid intensification of the hurricane were made six times more likely by climate change, a World Weather Attribution study has found.

The storm grew from a tropical storm to a major Category 4 hurricane in a day, fuelled by warmer than average sea temperatures.

It eventually made landfall in Jamaica as a powerful Category 5 hurricane. It went onto make a second landfall in eastern Cuba a day later.
