Timeline of the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season


The 1995 Atlantic hurricane season was a very active year in which nineteen named storms formed, tying it with the seasons of 1887, 2010, 2011, and 2012 for the third most active hurricane season on record. The season officially began on June 1, with the first tropical cyclone, Hurricane Allison, forming just the next day. The season ended on November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones develop in the Atlantic basin. The season's last storm, Hurricane Tanya, dissipated on November 3.

The season produced twenty-one tropical cyclones, of which nineteen intensified into tropical storms, eleven became hurricanes, and five became major hurricanes. The three most notable storms during the season were hurricanes Luis, Marilyn, and Opal. Hurricane Luis was a powerful Cape Verde-type hurricane that caused extensive damage in the northern Leeward Islands. Hurricane Marilyn affected the same area a few days later, becoming the most destructive hurricane to hit the U.S. Virgin Islands since Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Opal was a strong hurricane that made landfall near Pensacola Beach, Florida. The system caused $5.1 billion (1995 USD) in damage.

This timeline includes information that was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as a storm that was not operationally warned upon, has been included. This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season.
