The name Iris was used for sixteen tropical cyclones worldwide. Three in the Atlantic Ocean, ten in the West Pacific, one in the South-West Indian Ocean, and two in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. It has also been used once in Europe.
In the Atlantic:
Tropical Storm Iris (1989) – did not become strong or threaten land due to interaction with Hurricane Hugo, but dropped heavy rain on areas already drenched by Hugo.
Hurricane Iris (1995) – moved up the Leeward Islands, causing four deaths on Martinique, later reached Europe as a strong extratropical storm.
Hurricane Iris (2001) – struck Belize as a Category 4 storm, killing several in Central America, including 20 on a ship that capsized off the coast. Caused $66 million in damage to Belize.
The name Iris was retired after the 2001 season, and was replaced by Ingrid in the 2007 season.
