The basin covers the Indian Ocean north of the equator as well as inland areas, sub-divided by the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Although the season began early with two systems in January, the bulk of activity was confined from September to December. The official India Meteorological Department tracked 12 depressions in the basin, and the unofficial Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) monitored two additional storms. Three systems intensified into a cyclonic storm, which have sustained winds of at least 63 km/h (39 mph), at which point the IMD named them. The first official storm of the season was Cyclonic Storm Hibaru, which formed southeast of Sri Lanka in January. After nearly five months of inactivity, two depressions formed toward the end of June on opposite sides of India. The depression in the Arabian Sea was one of only two in that body of water during the year, the other of which formed in September and killed 13 people. The other was a depression that formed over land and killed 26 people in Madhya Pradesh, followed by another depression in July that killed one person. A series of deadly storms affected southeastern India beginning in September; a depression killed six people in Madhya Pradesh, Cyclonic Storm Pyarr killed 91 people, an unclassified tropical storm killed 16 people in nearby Bangladesh, and a deep depression in October killed 100 people in Andhra Pradesh. December was active, with cyclonic storms Baaz and Fanoos hitting southern India, resulting in 11 fatalities, and a deep depression remaining over waters in the middle of the month. __TOC__ Season summary During the season, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) tracked cyclonic disturbances in the region, as part of them being the designated Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, covering the waters north of the Indian Ocean north of the equator from 45° E to 100° E. The activity was separated between the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, although there were no cyclonic storms in the latter region. The tropical systems were tracked using satellite imagery and the Dvorak technique, while forecasts were based on cyclone models. There were a total of 12 depressions during the year, three less than normal, although the highest since 1992. The IMD named four cyclonic storms, a process they initiated in 2004, which was also below normal. No systems strengthened beyond cyclonic storm status. The season was the sixth in a row with below normal activity, based on the seasonal accumulated cyclone energy. Storms generally develop when the monsoon trough is located over tropical waters, with a peak from May to June and another peak in November.Bureau of the American Meteorological Society 2015-06-30 The Tropics H.J.

Over the next few days, the convection consolidated as an elongated circulation became evident.Gary Padgett 2000 2015-06-27 Monthly Tropical Weather Summary for January 2005 http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2005/summ0501.htm On January 13, the IMD designated the system as a depression.India Meteorological Department 2015-12-21 2006 Report on Cyclonic Disturbances Over North Indian Ocean During 2005 http://www.rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in/images/pdf/publications/annual-rsmc-report/rsmc-2005%20.pdf The system organized further and developed rainbands. A ridge to the north caused the depression to move erratically and remain generally stationary. The IMD upgraded the system to a deep depression on January 14, the same day that the JTWC classified it as Tropical Cyclone 02B. On the next day, the IMD upgraded it further to Cyclonic Storm Hibaru, estimating winds of 65 km/h mph on 5, marking an unusual occasion for such a low-latitude storm in January.The name Hibaru (Dhivehi: ހިބަރު, [hibäɾu]) was contributed by the Maldives and means "swordfish, marlin" in Dhivehi. Drifting southward, the circulation gradually became exposed from the convection, indicative of the weakening. Hibaru degenerated into a remnant low on January 17. Land Depression 01 NIO LAND 01 2005-07-01 0800Z.jpg LAND01 2005 track.png June 27 July 5 25 990 Early on June 27, a low-pressure area formed over the extreme northwestern portion of the Bay of Bengal. Soon after it moved ashore near Kolkata, and the system organized into a depression over West Bengal with winds of 45 km/h mph on 5. For several days the system maintained its intensity while moving northwestward, stalling on July 1 for three days over Madhya Pradesh. It later turned to the northeast and dissipated over Uttar Pradesh on July 6. The depression produced widespread rainfall across eastern India. Sagar, Madhya Pradesh recorded 480 mm in on in 24 hours, the highest daily total. The rains helped cut India's rainfall deficit by enhancing the monsoon.India: Southwest monsoon 2005 - Current status and prediction for next week 01 Jul 2005 Government of India ReliefWeb 2015-06-30 2005-07-01 http://reliefweb.int/report/india/india-southwest-monsoon-2005-current-status-and-prediction-next-week-01-jul-2005 Rains first affected Odisha, where rivers overflowed and inundated adjacent crop fields.India: South West Monsoon 2005 - Flood Situation Report 29 Jun 2005 ReliefWeb 2015-06-30 Government of India 2005-06-29 http://reliefweb.int/report/india/india-south-west-monsoon-2005-flood-situation-report-29-jun-2005 As the storm stalled over Madhya Pradesh, it produced widespread flooding that isolated 129 villages, killing 26 people.

It was the first cyclonic storm in the month in seven years. Attaining peak winds of 65 km/h mph on 5, the storm took an unusual track to the southwest. On September 19, Pyarr made landfall just northeast of Kalingapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. It turned westward and weakened over land, deteriorating into a remnant low on September 22 over Madhya Pradesh. As a depression, the system produced damaging swells along coastal Bangladesh, forcing 12,000 people to evacuate. Offshore, an estimated 9,000 fishermen in roughly 600 vessels were caught in the storm; 15–20 of these ships capsized with 85 people collectively aboard.Agence France-Presse September 23, 2005 Thousands of Bangladesh fishermen return home after storm Dhaka, Bangladesh Lexis Nexis At least 16 were known to have died.

It had a well-defined circulation, helped by low wind shear and good outflow. The IMD classified it as a depression on October 26, and later that day upgraded it to a deep depression. Moving northwestward, the system moved ashore near Ongole, Andhra Pradesh early on October 28. The depression rapidly weakened over land, degenerating into a remnant low the next day. Heavy rainfall affected coastal Andhra Pradesh, with a daily peak of 350 mm in on in Kavali.

Cyclonic Storm Baaz NIO Tropical cyclone baaz 2004 november 29.jpg Baaz 2005 track.png November 28 December 2 45 35 998 An area of convection formed on November 26 in the eastern Bay of Bengal within an area of moderate wind shear. As the shear decreased, the convection organized about a developing circulation. On November 27, the JTWC classified the system as Tropical Cyclone 07B,Gary Padgett 2006 2015-07-10 Monthly Tropical Weather Summary for November 2005 http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2006/summ0511.htm and the next day, the IMD classified it as a depression. That day, the agency quickly upgraded it to Cyclonic Storm Baaz.The name Baaz (Arabic: باز, [baːz]) was contributed by Oman and means "hawk" in Arabic. By that time, the storm was moving steadily westward due to a ridge to the north. On November 29, the IMD estimated peak 3 minute winds of 85 km/h mph on 5. Increasing wind shear weakened Baaz on December 1, in conjunction with the storm turning to the west-northwest. The storm quickly deteriorated, and the IMD downgraded it to a remnant low on December 2, the same day that the JTWC issued their final advisory. The remnants continued to the west, eventually crossing the Indian coast north of Pondicherry on December 3. The precursor to the storm brought heavy rainfall to southern Thailand, reaching 417 mm in on in Ko Samui. The rains killed 11 people in the country and caused ฿400 million (Thai baht, US$10 million) in damage. The remnants also dropped heavy rainfall in southern India, with a daily peak of 310 mm in on in Tambaram. The rains flooded several villages in Tamil Nadu, killing 11 people.

It consisted of a circulation with increasingly organized convection. The system moved west-southwestward through the Bay of Bengal due to a ridge to the north, organizing into a depression two days later. That day, the JTWC also classified it as Tropical Cyclone 06B.Gary Padgett 2006 2015-07-06 Monthly Tropical Weather Summary for December 2005 http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2006/summ0512.htm Moderate wind shear allowed the system to strengthen further, and the IMD classified it as Cyclonic Storm Fanoos early on December 7.The name Fanoos (Urdu: فانوس, [fɑːnuːs]) was contributed by Pakistan and refers to traditional lanterns used in the month of Ramadan in Urdu. Later that day, the agency estimated peak 3 minute winds of 85 km/h mph on 5. Two days later, the JTWC estimated peak 1 minute winds of 110 km/h mph on 5 as the storm bypassed northern Sri Lanka.Kenneth R. Knapp Michael C. Kruk David H. Levinson Howard J. Diamond Charles J.

It was in an area of low wind shear, which allowed for slow development, and it became a depression on December 15. A ridge to the north steered the system to the northwest and later to the west. On December 17, the JTWC classified it as Tropical Cyclone 07B, the same day that the IMD upgraded it to a deep depression with peak 3 minute winds of 55 km/h mph on 5. On the next day, the JTWC estimated peak 1 minute winds of 85 km/h mph on 5. Increasing wind shear prevented further development as the storm turned to the north, keeping it east of Sri Lanka. An approaching trough turned the weakening system to the northeast on December 21, and the next day the IMD downgraded it to a remnant low in the central Bay of Bengal.
