The 1995 Pacific Hurricane Season is an active season, with 23 storms forming. The season officially began on May 15, 1995, and lasted until November 30, 1995.

The most notable storm of the season is Priscilla, which reached peak of 360 kph, and 855 mbar, making the most intense worldwide up to today. Sonia brushed Hawaii as a strong hurricane, causing massive damage. Cosme caused massive damage due to strong hurricane and slow speed. There are many strong storms, including 2 in CPA. Lorena brushed Baja California and also caused massive damage.

There are four storms formed in CPAC, making it most until 2015. This season is also notable because there are three category 4 existing at the same time (Oliwa, Ismael and Juliette) Octave caused minimal damage, even though strong because it weakens before making landfall.

Season Summary[]

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale

The seasonal activity during 1995 was above normal. Nine tropical cyclones affected Mexico: Adolph, Dalila, Henriette, Juliette, Lorena, Manuel, Octave, Priscilla and Raymond. The most notable are Priscilla, Lorena and Cosme. Priscilla is the strongest and most intense storm ever recorded worldwide. It causes extensive damage as it made landfall and even crossed into Gulf of Mexico and renamed Iris. Lorena made landfall on Sinaloa-Sonara boarder as a strong hurricane, causing a lot of dame. And Cosme, that caused landslides around Western Central America, also caused these in Mexico. The rest of the storms that affected Mexico caused some damage, but not as high. This season is also notable because there are three Category 4 hurricanes existing at that the same time (Oliwa, Ismael and Juliette). This is repeated in 2015 (Kilo, Ignacio, Jimena). Lorena and Cosme are one of the deadliest Pacific hurricane, with more than 2000 if combined.

Activity in the Central Pacific Ocean was above-average, as well. Four formed in the basin. These are Oliwa, Paka, Upana and Wene, with Oliwa and Paka being major hurricane. but it formed in the Eastern Pacific. One storm considerably caused catastrophic effects in Hawaii = Sonia. It almost made landfall as a strong hurricane, making it worst since Iniki of 1992. All storms that formed in CPAC caused no damage.
