飓风梅丽莎加强为五级飓风,对牙买加及周边地区构成严重威胁

摘要

飓风梅丽莎已升级为五级飓风,威胁牙买加,可能引发灾难性洪水、山体滑坡和破坏性强风,同时对海地、古巴和巴哈马也构成重大风险。

飓风梅丽莎已加强为五级飓风,目前位于牙买加金斯敦以南偏西南约100英里处,移动速度约为每小时5英里。这一缓慢的移动预计将导致该地区持续出现严重天气状况。

国家飓风中心(NHC)预测,梅丽莎将于周二登陆牙买加,可能以五级飓风强度登陆,随后于周二晚间或周三凌晨抵达古巴东部,接着于周三经过巴哈马东南部或特克斯和凯科斯群岛。该风暴可能于周四晚间或周五凌晨接近百慕大。

牙买加正准备应对威胁生命的突发洪水、山体滑坡和破坏性强风。国家飓风中心警告称,直到周三,南部伊斯帕尼奥拉岛和牙买加可能出现高达40英寸的降雨,导致灾难性洪水和山体滑坡,尤其是在丘陵和山区。牙买加南部海岸预计将出现9至13英尺的风暴潮,可能影响金斯敦,包括诺曼·曼利国际机场。

海地南部地区已开始出现强降雨,预计降雨量高达40英寸,带来类似的灾难性洪水和山体滑坡风险。古巴东部降雨量可能达到20英寸,东南海岸风暴潮预计为6至9英尺。

牙买加预计今晚或周二凌晨开始出现破坏性飓风条件,山脉和丘陵迎风坡的风力可能增强30%。国家飓风中心指出,这些强风可能造成广泛的基础设施破坏,并导致长期断电和通信中断,孤立部分社区。

牙买加已出现热带风暴条件,预计将持续至周二晚间。古巴东部预计周二开始出现热带风暴风力,周二晚间达到飓风风力。巴哈马东南部和特克斯及凯科斯群岛可能于周三经历热带风暴和飓风条件。

梅丽莎从热带风暴迅速增强为四级飓风,仅用24小时(从周六早晨至周日早晨),并于周一凌晨成为2025年大西洋飓风季的第三个五级飓风。历史数据显示,虽然已有八个四级或五级飓风曾接近牙买加60海里以内,但没有记录显示如此强烈的飓风曾在牙买加登陆。自19世纪中叶以来,只有两次五级飓风接近牙买加:1980年的艾伦飓风和2004年的艾文飓风。

受影响地区居民被敦促保持关注信息,并遵循当地政府的指导,随着飓风梅丽莎的推进做好防范准备。
