Timeline of the 2004–05 Australian region cyclone season
2004–05 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
2004–05 South Pacific cyclone season
The 2004–05 Australian region cyclone season was a slightly below average tropical cyclone season. It began on 1 November 2004 and ended on 30 April 2005. The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season, which runs from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005.
Tropical cyclones in this area are monitored by four Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs): the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in Perth, Darwin, and Brisbane; and TCWC Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.August 2012

On 30 August, an area of low pressure developed near the edge of Météo-France's area of responsibility within an unseasonably active monsoonal band which coincided with the Madden–Julian oscillation. Tracking towards the southeast, the low experience strong deep-level wind shear which kept most of the convection displaced from the center of circulation. On 31 August, convection managed to develop around the west and southwestern portions of the low beforeGary Padgett Typhoon 2000 27 January 2005 12 February 2009 Monthly Tropical Cyclone Summary for September 2004 http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/sep04sum.txt and was designated as Tropical Depression 01.Gary Padgett Typhoon 2000 7 December 2004 12 February 2009 Monthly Tropical Cyclone Summary for August 2004 http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/aug04sum.txt The depression reached its peak intensity at this time with winds of 55 km/h mph on 10-minute winds) and a minimum pressure of 999 hPa (mbar).Gary Padgett Typhoon 2000 24 October 2004 12 February 2009 Monthly Tropical Cyclone Tracks for September 2004 http://www.typhoon2000.ph/garyp_mgtcs/sep04tks.txt The system moved southeast and entered the Perth Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre's area of responsibility on 1 September.
The system was upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Phoebe early on 2 September when it was about 800 km west-northwest of the Cocos Islands. Phoebe quickly reached its peak strength that day, with winds of 85 km/h, as it continued to move to the southeast. The cyclone weakened as it moved over cooler water and dissipated about 550 km from the Cocos Islands. Phoebe posed no threat to any land.http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2005/summ0409.htm Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary September 2004 Australiasevereweather.com 18 August 2012

A tropical low developed from an area of convection of the Western Australia coast on 30 December. The system drifted southeast, then turned to the northeast over the following days without significant development. The low began to drift to the southeast again on 1 January and the convection began to increase, with it becoming Tropical Cyclone Raymond on 2 January, when it was 460 km north-northeast of Broome.
The cyclone peaked with 85 km/h winds as it moved east, and made landfall as a Category 1 cyclone just west of Kalumburu the same day. The cyclone weakened over land, and the remnant low continued east over the Northern Territory, entering the Gulf of Carpentaria on 5 January. The low reversed direction and dissipated by 10 January.http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2005/summ0501.htm Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary January 2005 Australiasevereweather.com 18 August 2012 Cyclone Raymond caused no damage, but brought the first heavy rain of the season to northern Kimberley.http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/history/wa/2005.shtml Western Australia Tropical Cyclone Season Summary 2004–05 Bom.gov.au 18 August 2012

A area of convection began to develop 930 km west-southwest of Jakarta on 6 January, becoming a tropical low the next day. The low intensified as it drifted south and was named Sally 370 km east-southeast of the Cocos Islands on 8 January. Cyclone Sally slowly moved to the southwest, under the influence of a mid-level ridge to the southeast, reaching its peak with 95 km/h winds on 9 January. The storm then rapidly weakened as a result of the presence of dry air and increased wind shear, before dissipating early on 10 January 460 km west-southwest of the Cocos Islands. Cyclone Sally had no effects on land.http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2005/summ0501.htm Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary January 2005 Australiasevereweather.com 2012-08-18

A tropical low located about 930 km north of Learmonth, Western Australia began to develop a deeper convection on 23 January, despite being beneath the subtropical ridge. The low became Tropical Cyclone Tim the next day, when it was 700 km southeast of Christmas Island. Tim moved slowly to the southwest, as a result of steering from an anticyclone to the southeast. The storm reached briefly reached a peak with wind of 85 km/h late on 23 January. Tim lost tropical cyclone status on 25 January to 470 km south-west of Christmas Island and the remnant continued west before dissipating. There was no damage as a result of Cyclone Tim.

Cyclone Ingrid
A tropical low formed north of the Gulf of Carpentaria on 3 March, before crossing the Cape York Peninsula and into the Coral Sea. The tropical low intensified into a tropical cyclone, named Ingrid, on 6 March and rapidly intensified into a severe tropical cyclone later that day, peaking as a category 5 with 10-minute sustained winds of 220 km/h mph on on 8 March. After peaking, Ingrid weakened to a category 4, making landfall on the Cape York Peninsula late on 9 March before emerging once again into the Gulf of Carpentaria. In the Gulf, Ingrid once again rapidly intensified, achieving its second and strongest peak on 11 March with winds of 230 km/h mph on and a pressure of 924 hPa inHg on. The system passed just north of Nhulunbuy the next day, maintaining its intensity as it traveled north of the Top End. Ingrid then weakened before striking the Tiwi Islands. After moving over water, Ingrid once again reintensified, achieving its final peak with winds of 185 km/h mph on on 15 March. Later that day, Ingrid made its final landfall near Kalumburu on the Kimberley coast and rapidly weakened, falling below cyclone status on 17 March.http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/history/ingrid.shtml Tropical Cyclone Ingrid Bureau of Meteorology 24 July 2022

A tropical low began to develop on 8 March 830 km north of Port Hedland, Western Australia. The low did not move as it developed and became Tropical Cyclone Willy in the same area. Willy moved slowly west-southwest, roughly parallel to the Australian coast, strengthening steadily in the favourable environment. It reached its peak with 140 km/h winds on 11 March when it was 550 km northwest of Onslow.
Cyclone Willy then turned to the southwest and maintained its strength for a day before it began to weaken. The storm turned to the west and weakened into a remnant low on 14 March. The remnant continued to drift west away from Australia before dissipating a few days later.http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2005/summ0503.htm Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary March 2005 Australiasevereweather.com 17 May 2005 18 August 2012 Oil production in the Timor Sea was disrupted by Cyclone Willy, but there were no effects on land.

By this time the system was located about 100 km mi 5 on to the southwest of Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea and was producing gales and rough seas around Papua New Guinea. The system subsequently approached and interacted with south-eastern Papua New Guinea, before it moved into an area of increasing vertical wind shear and started weakening. The system was last formally noted during that day before it dissipated a few days later.
