The strongest hurricane in the season was Hurricane Juliette, which reached peak winds of 150&nbsp;mph (240&nbsp;km/h). The season officially started on [[May 15]], [[1995]] in the eastern Pacific, and on [[June 1]], [[1995]] in the central Pacific, and lasted until [[November 30]], [[1995]]. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northeastern [[Pacific Ocean]]. The season saw eleven tropical cyclones form, of which ten became tropical storms. Seven storms attained hurricane status, of which three acquired [[Tropical cyclone#Major hurricane|major hurricane status]]. The number of tropical storms was much less than the average of 16 storms, while the number of hurricanes and major hurricanes were slightly below average.<ref name="pastprofile">{{cite web|author=National Hurricane Center|year=1996|title=Average Cumulative Number of Systems Per Year|accessdate=2006-11-20|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gifs/pastprofileEP.gif}}</ref> ==Season summary== [[Image:August 7, 1995 EPAC.JPG|right|thumb|220px|Tropical Depression Erick (left) and Tropical Storm Flossie (bottom-center) on [[August 7]]]] The seasonal activity during 1995 was below normal, and marked the first of several seasons with lower than normal activity, a trend that would persist until the following decade.<ref name="epachurdat"/> Four tropical cyclones affected [[Mexico]]: first, Hurricane Flossie passed within 75&nbsp;miles (120&nbsp;km) of [[Baja California]], producing moderate winds and killing seven people.

Hurricane Adolph turned to the northwest and attained major hurricane status late that same day. The small eye of the hurricane continued to organize, as very deep convection surrounded the [[eyewall]], and Adolph reached its peak intensity of 135&nbsp;mph (215&nbsp;km/h) on [[June 18]], making it a Category 4 hurricane on the [[Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale|Saffir-Simpson scale]]. Shortly thereafter, the storm weakened, as the upper-level environment became more hostile, and the system moved over progressively cooler waters. On [[June 19]], Adolph turned to the west, and degenerated back into a tropical storm later that day.

Barbara continued westward under the influence of a [[subtropical ridge]] to its north, and began to steadily weaken on [[July 14]] as it moved into an area of cooler [[sea surface temperature|water temperatures]]. The hurricane degraded to a tropical storm on [[July 16]], and a day later it deteriorated to a tropical depression.

However, the intensity of the storm is still uncertain; late on the 18th, a ship {{convert|70|mi|km}} to the east of Cosme reported winds of 17&nbsp;mph (27&nbsp;km/h), despite that a normal 50&nbsp;mph (80&nbsp;km/h) tropical storm would produce tropical storm force winds for locations within at least 70&nbsp;miles (110&nbsp;km) of the center.<ref name="cosmetcr"/> ===Tropical Storm Dalila=== {{infobox hurricane small |name=Tropical Storm Dalila | category=storm | type=tropical storm | image=Tropical Storm Dalila (1995).JPG | track=Dalila 1995 track.png | formed=[[July 24]] | dissipated=[[August 2]] | highest winds=65&nbsp;[[miles per hour|mph]] (105&nbsp;[[kilometres per hour|km/h]]) | lowest pressure=994&nbsp;[[Bar (unit)|mbar]]}} A [[tropical wave]] moved off the coast of [[Africa]] on [[July 11]]. It moved westward and quickly developed two areas of convection along the wave axis. One of the areas nearly developed into a tropical depression after moving northwestward, though it failed to organize further and dissipated. The southern area continued westward and ultimately entered the eastern [[Pacific Ocean]] on [[July 21]]. Thunderstorms along the wave axis became more concentrated a few hundred miles south of the [[Gulf of Tehuantepec]], and the system developed into Tropical Depression Five-E on [[July 24]] while located 500&nbsp;miles (800&nbsp;km) southwest of [[Manzanillo, Colima|Manzanillo]], [[Mexico]].<ref name="dalilatcr">{{cite web|author=Edward N.

Slightly strengthening occurred, and on [[July 25]] the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Dalila. The storm turned to the northwest, and later to the west-northwest, and remained a minimal tropical storm until [[July 28]] when a decrease in wind shear allowed Dalila to strengthen. A strong [[anticyclone]] developed to the north of the system, causing Dalila to accelerate to the northwest. Late on July 28, Dalila reached a peak intensity of 65&nbsp;mph (105&nbsp;km/h) at a position 570&nbsp;miles (915&nbsp;km) southwest of [[Cabo San Lucas]]. Tropical Storm Dalila slowly weakened after moving over progressively cooler water temperatures, and on [[August 1]] it degenerated into a tropical depression.

After moving through the [[Windward Islands]] on [[July 23]], deep convection again increased. The system failed to organize further, though convection continued to develop upon entering the eastern [[Pacific Ocean]] on [[July 27]]. The cloudiness and thunderstorms became more consolidated off the coast of southern [[Mexico]], and on [[July 31]] [[Dvorak technique|Dvorak classifications]] began on the system.

The large circulation was well-developed by [[August 7]], and the convection concentrated a few hundred miles southwest of [[Acapulco]]. Low pressures persisted across the region, and based on its organization the National Hurricane Center designated the system Tropical Depression Seven-E later on the 7th. Based on reports from nearby ships, it is estimated the depression intensified to become Tropical Storm Flossie on [[August 8]]. The storm paralleled the coast of [[Mexico]] as it moved to the northwest at around {{convert|8|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}, and after a decrease of [[wind shear]] Flossie developed very deep convection over its center. It intensified into a hurricane on [[August 10]], and shortly thereafter it reached its peak intensity of {{convert|80|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} as an embedded warm spot appeared in the center of the storm.

Officials issued a tropical storm watch and later a tropical storm warning for [[Baja California Sur]] south of [[La Paz]], which was later extended from [[Loreto]] on the east coast to [[San Juanico]] on the west coast. The large circulation of Hurricane Flossie produced gusty winds and heavy rainfall along the west coast of Mexico and southern [[Baja California Peninsula|Baja California]]. [[Cabo San Lucas]] reported sustained tropical storm force winds with a gust to 55&nbsp;mph (90&nbsp;km/h), while amateur radio reports in [[San Jose del Cabo]] recorded a gust of 65&nbsp;mph (105&nbsp;km/h).

The eye became better defined as the hurricane moved to the west-northwest, a motion caused by a weak [[ridge (meteorology)|ridge]] to its north, and Juliette attained major hurricane status early on [[September 19]].

On [[September 20]], while located 420&nbsp;miles (680&nbsp;km) southwest of [[Cabo San Lucas]], Juliette attained a peak strength of 150&nbsp;mph (240&nbsp;km/h), the strongest tropical cyclone of the season.<ref name="juliettetcr"/> After maintaining its peak intensity for less than 12 hours, Juliette began to weaken due to an [[eye (cyclone)#Eyewall replacement cycles|eyewall replacement cycle]].

The eyewall contracted to about 40&nbsp;miles (65&nbsp;km), and as a result Juliette re-strengthened to attain winds of 105 mph (170&nbsp;km/h). An eastward moving trough of low pressure turned the hurricane to the north-northeast into an area of cooler water temperatures and increased [[wind shear]]. Juliette quickly weakened to a tropical storm late on [[September 24]]. The eastward moving trough moved past the storm, resulting in the motion of Juliette turning to a southeast drift.
