Hurricane Melissa to brush Bermuda
Digest more
Bermuda is yet again under a hurricane threat this season as Hurricane Melissa is forecast to charge north, bringing dangerous winds and storm surge.
At least five people have been killed on the island nation after the powerful category 5 storm hit earlier this week, with at least 20 left dead in Haiti.
After bringing devastation to Jamaica and Cuba, Melissa will track through the northern Caribbean and eventually reach portions of Bermuda and Newfoundland with heavy rain and damaging winds.
Hotter-than-average Caribbean water made Hurricane Melissa stronger and wetter. Its part of a trend that scientists link back to climate change.
