Hurricane Luis was the twelfth named tropical cyclone and one of the most powerful storms during the very busy 1995 Atlantic hurricane season.
Hurricane Luis brought 6 inches of rain and strong winds as it passed by Saint Martin.
At one point during the 1995 season, the storm was one of four simultaneous Atlantic tropical systems, along with Humberto, Iris, and Karen.

The Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation, or ATC, is a density-driven circulation in the Atlantic Basin that undergoes cycles on decadal timescales.
The North Atlantic Oscillation, or NAO, is the fluctuation in 500 millibar heights in the northern Atlantic, primarily between western Europe, Iceland, and Greenland.
All four landfalls occurred from hurricanes that originated in the southwest Caribbean Sea in October, a region that is expected to be highly favorable this season due to the lack of an El Nino and a strong ATC.

 The extremely active 1995 Atlantic hurricane
Hurricane Luis was of particular interest during 1995 because of its long duration at IH status and its destructiveness in the Caribbean.
Despite the lack of positive contribution of Sahelian rainfall toward the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season, the combined conducive effects of low vertical wind shear, low SLPs, warm SSTs, humid TPW, a westerly phase of the stratospheric QBO moderate and a La Niño event allowed for the 1995 hurricane season to be extremely active.

The 1995 Atlantic hurricane season was a year of near-record hurricane activity with a total of 19 named storms (average is 9.3 for the base period 1950-1990) and 11 hurricanes (average is 5.8), which persisted for a total of 121 named storm days (average is 46.6) and 60 hurricane days (average is 23.9), respectively.
Active hurricane seasons in the Atlantic basin are generally associated with a reduction of tropospheric vertical wind shear (typically measured between 850 and 200 mb) within the critical 10 to 20 ° N latitude belt stretching from North Africa to Central America (Gray et al.
This extreme repetition of recurving hurricane tracks resulted from a systematic eastward displacement of the mid-tropospheric subtropical ridge position to near 55° W, and the development of southerly flow to the west of the mean ridge axis over the western North Atlantic.

Hurricane Juan initially appeared to be subtropical in nature, but after forming approximately 295 miles southeast of Bermuda on September 25th, it moved to the north-northwest and was classified as fully tropical.
Hurricane Fabian was the onl-y hurricane to develop during the month of August, though in total, there were four tropical systems that formed during the month.
As the storm recurved in the western Atlantic, hurricane warnings were issued for the island of Bermuda and Fabian's eye passed very slightly to the west of the island on the afternoon of September 5th.

 EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Thus, based on this analysis, we expect 2005 to be an active hurricane season and in line with the average of eight of the last ten years (1995, 1996; 1998-2001; 2003, 2004).
Atlantic basin NTC can be skillfully hindcast, and the strength of the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation can be inferred as SSTA* from North Atlantic SST anomalies in the current and prior years.
Although many active Atlantic hurricane seasons feature no landfalling hurricanes, and some inactive years experience one or more landfalling hurricanes, it is found that, on average, the more active the overall Atlantic basin hurricane season is, the greater the probability of U.S. hurricane landfall.

May 16, 2005 — NOAA hurricane forecasters are predicting another above-normal hurricane season on the heels of last year's destructive and historic hurricane season.
An update to the Atlantic hurricane outlook will be issued in early August just prior to the season's historical peak from late August through October.
In contrast to the Atlantic, a below-normal hurricane season is expected in the Eastern and Central Pacific.

 Special Hurricane Summary
A comparison with other active hurricane seasons (Table 1) shows that although 1995 was a very active year, many of the listed tropical storm parameters were equaled or surpassed in prior years.
While the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season was extremely active and was preceded by four relatively quiet years, tropical activity during each of the past five years was within the range of observed climate variability.
For example, during the 1994 hurricane season the subtropical North Atlantic was dominated by enhanced vertical wind shear (Figs.

 Summary of the 2003 Atlantic Hurricane Season
By the way, the 1933 season also was a season that had less than fifty percent of its named storms become hurricanes as only ten named storms emerged from the 21 storms that developed that year including two powerful hurricanes that ravaged the Mid-Atlantic including the Great Chesapeake Bay Hurricane of September, 1933.
A hurricane that had the potential to end up on the same level as that Mid-Atlantic hurricane from 1933 was Hurricane Isabel, the most powerful hurricane to develop in the Atlantic since Hurricane Mitch in October, 1998.
Meanwhile, Kate would be the last hurricane of the season, and it ended up being a major hurricane with 125 mph winds in early October.

In total, this season is likely to yield 18 to 21 tropical storms, with nine to 11 becoming hurricanes, including five to seven major hurricanes.
The predicted high levels of activity during the remainder of the season are consistent with NOAA's pre-season outlook issued last spring, and are comparable to those seen during August to October of the very active 2003 and 2004 seasons.
The most active hurricane season was in 1933 with 21 storms, followed by 1995 with 19 storms.

Six to eight storms are predicted to become hurricanes with two to four storms developing into major hurricanes ranked as Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane strength.
Previous hurricane seasons similar to NOAA's forecast averaged two to three hurricanes that made landfall in the continental United States, and one to two hurricanes in the region around the Caribbean Sea.
The National Hurricane Center monitors the oceans and determines a weather disturbance is a tropical storm when its wind speeds are faster than 39 mph.
