Storm names

[edit]

The following names were used for named storms that formed in the north Atlantic in 1995.[1] The names not retired from this list were used again in the 2001 season.[2] This is the same list used for the 1989 season except Humberto,[1] which replaced Hugo.[3] Storms were named Humberto, Luis, Marilyn, Noel, Opal, Pablo, Roxanne, Sebastien, and Tanya for the first time in 1995. For Luis, Marilyn, Opal, and Roxanne, 1995 also marked their only usage. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray. Two names, Van and Wendy, were not used during the course of the year.

Retirement

[edit]

The World Meteorological Organization retired four names in the spring of 1996: Luis, Marilyn, Opal, and Roxanne.[4] They were replaced in the 2001 season by Lorenzo, Michelle, Olga, and Rebekah.[2] The name Michelle, however, was retired after a single use in 2001 and replaced with Melissa for 2007. The 1995 season was tied with the 1955 season and 2004 season for the most storm names retired after a single season until the 2005 season, when five names were retired.[4]

Season effects

[edit]

This is a table of all of the storms that formed in the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s) – denoted by bold location names – damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but are still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical or a wave or low, and all of the damage figures are in 1995 USD.
