The 1995–96 South Pacific cyclone season was one of the least active tropical cyclone seasons on record, with only four tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific Ocean to the east of 160°E. The season officially ran from November 1, 1995 until April 30, 1996. The first storm developed on January 12, while the last one dissipated on April 2. During the season the most intense tropical cyclone was Severe Tropical Cyclone Beti, which reached a minimum pressure of 935 hPa (27.61 inHg) as it affected New Caledonia. After the season ended Beti`s name was the only name to be retired from the tropical cyclone naming lists and was replaced with Bune, after it inflicted over 4.3 million (USD) worth of damage to Australia, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and New Zealand.
