the 1995 atlantic hurricane season is the third-most active atlantic hurricane season on record, tied with 1887, 2010, 2011, and 2012, and only behind the 1933 and the 2005 season. it is also considered to be the start of an ongoing era of high-activity tropical cyclone formation. the season produced twenty-one tropical cyclones, nineteen named storms, as well as eleven hurricanes and five major hurricanes. the season officially began on june 1 and ended on november 30, dates which conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones develop in the atlantic basin. the first tropical cyclone, hurricane allison, developed on june 2, while the season's final storm, hurricane tanya, transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on november 1. the very active atlantic hurricane activity in 1995 was due to la niña conditions, that influenced a very inactive pacific hurricane season.
