It began on November 1, 2005, and ended on April 30, 2006. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the southern Pacific Ocean east of 160°E. Additionally, the regional tropical cyclone operational plan defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season, and the "tropical cyclone year" runs from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006.2006 Tropical Cyclone Operational Plan for the South Pacific and South-East Indian Ocean August 15, 2008 WMO http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/TCP-24-OP-PLN-2006-edition-english.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20080911050616/http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/TCP-24-OP-PLN-2006-edition-english.pdf September 11, 2008 live Tropical cyclones between 160°E and 120°W and north of 25°S are monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service in Nadi.

Both agencies expected that the season would see a near average amount of tropical cyclone activity due there being no El Niño or La Niña. As a result of these conditions RSMC Nadi predicted that between 7–9 tropical cyclones would develop while NIWA did not predict how many tropical cyclone there would be during the season. RSMC Nadi also reported that Fiji had a higher chance of being hit by a tropical cyclone this season than during recent previous seasons. NIWA also predicted that there was an average risk of a tropical cyclone coming within 550 km mi on, of: Fiji, Tonga, Niue, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, the Southern Cook Islands, Samoa, and New Zealand.2005 Salinger, Jim Burgess, Stuart Renwick, Jim Tropical cyclone guidance for the 2005/06 season Island Climate Update 61 August 1, 2011 National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research October 2005 http://www.niwa.co.nz/our-science/pacific-rim/publications/all/icu/2005-10/article https://web.archive.org/web/20120426193243/http://www.niwa.co.nz/our-science/pacific-rim/publications/all/icu/2005-10/article April 26, 2012 live Seasonal summary Systems Tropical Depression 03F SPac December 8 December 16 20 1001 Formed on December 8 and dissipated on December 18, 2005.

By January 9, shower and thunderstorm activity associated with the disturbance increased as it began to interact with the South Pacific Convergence Zone. Another tropical depression developed in the vicinity, but weakened. The following day, the RSMC Nadi upgraded Tropical Depression 04F to a tropical cyclone and gave it the name Tam, making it the first named storm of the 2005–06 season. Several hours later, the storm passed close to Niuafo'ou with winds of 65 km/h mph on. By 0000 UTC on January 13, the JTWC classified Tam as Tropical Cyclone 06P. Tam strengthened further to attain winds of 85 km/h mph on around 0600 UTC. However, with both wind shear and the forward motion of the storm continuing to increase, convection rapidly became dislocated from the center.Joint Typhoon Warning Center Australia Severe Weather January 14, 2006 March 12, 2009 JTWC Advisories for Tropical Cyclone 06P (Tam) https://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2006/tropical_cyclone_tam.htm Around 0000 UTC on January 14, Tam entered the area of responsibility of the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Wellington, New Zealand as it moved quickly southward.

Forming in the wake of Cyclone Tam, the disturbance rapidly organized within a favorable environment, including warm waters and moderate wind shear. RSMC Nadi upgraded 06F to Tropical Cyclone Urmil while the system was near Niuatoputapu, Tonga. At 0600 UTC on January 14, the JTWC classified Urmil as Tropical Cyclone 07P. The storm reached peak winds of 110 km/h (70 mph) according to both the RSMC Nadi and the JTWC, making it a high-end Category 2 cyclone on the Australian Scale. Stronger wind shear and faster forward motion caused the storm to become disorganized and devoid of convection. On January 15, Urmil transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, and was subsequently absorbed into the mid-latitude westerlies.

Vaianu continued to strengthen, and passed west of Tonga. The JTWC reported that the cyclone peaked in intensity at 1200 UTC on February 13, with maximum sustained 1-minute winds of 140 km/h (85 mph). RSMC Nadi assessed the storm as having peaked slightly later, with 10-minute winds of 130 km/h (80 mph), which made it a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone. The storm held its strength for some time as it moved southward between Ono-i-Lau and Tongatapu. Beginning to accelerate, Vaianu entered the area of responsibility of the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Wellington, New Zealand. It curved southeastward and slowly deteriorated due to increasing wind shear and colder sea surface temperatures. The JTWC downgraded it to a tropical storm on February 15, and by the next day it was undergoing extratropical transition. At 0600 UTC, the JTWC classified it as extratropical, but it remained a powerful storm system for several days as it tracked over the open ocean.
