Hurricane Matthew has lost some of its puff as it heads towards Jamaica and Cuba.

But its winds are still reaching 250 kilometres an hour, and forecasters say it's powerful enough to wreck homes.

It's on track for landfall on Jamaica's southern coast around Kingston, and could also affect tourist destinations including Montego Bay in the north.

Matthew is the strongest hurricane in the Atlantic since Felix in 2007.
