	1995 Pacific hurricane season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1995 Pacific hurricane season officially started May 15, 1995 in the eastern Pacific, and June 1, 1995 in the central Pacific, and lasted until November 30, 1995.
		Ismael is the sixth-deadliest East Pacific tropical cyclone in the twentieth century.
		It was originally replaced in the 2001 season by Israel, but for political reasons, due to its connection with Israel and the unfortunate coincidence that the first name of 2001 was "Adolph" (later retired for similar reasons), this was changed to Ivo after the season began, but before it reached the "I" storm.

		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.
		Residents in hurricane vulnerable areas who had a plan, and took individual responsibility for acting on those plans, faired far better than those who did not," said Max Mayfield, director of the NOAA National Hurricane Center.
		In contrast to the Atlantic, a below-normal hurricane season is expected in the Eastern and Central Pacific.

		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.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005
		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).
		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.
		Regardless of how active the 2005 hurricane season is, a finite probability always exists that one or more hurricanes may strike along the US coastline or the Caribbean Basin and do much damage.

		This pattern tends to persist throughout the spring and summer implying a warmer tropical Atlantic during the hurricane season which is an enhancing factor for developing tropical waves.
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity of 2004 season as well as the increased Atlantic major hurricane activity of the previous nine years to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.

		Thus, the hurricane pattern could merely be going back to the active phase experienced during the mid-20th century.
		The latest forecast holds some small consolation: The El Niño weather pattern in the Pacific has been linked to a less active hurricane season in the Atlantic, and a weak El Niño may be in the works.
