It was also an event in the ongoing cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It ran from 1 November 1994 to 30 April 1995. The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season, and the "tropical cyclone year" ran from 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995. Tropical cyclones in this area were 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. __ToC__ Systems Severe Tropical Cyclone Annette Aus Annette Dec 18 1994 0000Z.jpg Annette 1994 track.png 12 December 20 December 100 110 925 Annette formed on 12 December 1994.

Seven people died when two fishing trawlers were sunk off the coast from Onslow. A bulk ore carrier also ran aground in the cyclone. There was very minor property damage reported from the Karratha area and approximately 20 houses in Onslow suffered superficial roofing damage. Cyclone Bobby also brought heavy rains and extensive flooding to the south of the Pilbara area, which damaged roads, bridges and crops and seriously affected mining production. A motorist was drowned inland from Carnarvon while attempting to cross a flooded creek.Bureau of Meteorologyhttp://www.csu.edu.au/faculty/arts/sslib/aemf/HDS/chapter_7.htm Tropical Cycloneshttp://www.abc.net.au/nature/bobby.htm Bobby and the Banded Stilts Australian Broadcasting Corporation 2012-08-12 https://web.archive.org/web/20121108144740/http://www.abc.net.au/nature/bobby.htm 2012-11-08 dead Severe Tropical Cyclone Violet Aus Violet 1995-03-05 0500Z.png Violet 1995 track.png 2 March 8 March(Out of basin from 6 March) 85 75 960 During the afternoon of 2 March a tropical low formed over the Coral Sea. The low moved south-westwards and proceeded to deepen, becoming a Category 1 Tropical Cyclone on 3 March, being named Violet. During the afternoon of 5 March, Violet turned south-eastwards and continued to intensify, up until its peak intensity of 150 km/h winds and a central pressure of 960 hPa as a Category 3 severe Tropical Cyclone. Violet then weakened slowly as it turned to a south-westwards direction during the evening of 6 March. During the next day, Violet began a transition into a deep extratropical low, with a central pressure of 980 hPa.Bureau of Meteorology June 10, 2017 Tropical Cyclone Violet http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/history/violet.shtml The low made its closest approach to the coast on the 7 March, passing 50 km off the northern New South Wales coast. The low proceeded to do a loop towards the southeast before dissipating on the 8 March. The only report of damage from Violet was beach erosion at Lord Howe Island and around northern New South Wales. Severe Tropical Cyclone Warren Aus Warren 1995-03-05 0131Z.png Warren 1995 track.png 4 March 7 March 80 55 960 On 4 March a tropical low had developed in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The low proceeded to move southwards and started to intensify, quickly becoming a category 1 tropical cyclone later the same day, being named Warren. Warren then turned in a south-western direction and proceeded to rapidly intensify, reaching category 1 hurricane strength on the 5 March just north of Mornington Island on the 5 March. Warren reached peak intensity with mean winds of 140 Kilometers per Hour and a central pressure of 960 hPa 6 hours later. Warren made landfall near the southern coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria and weakened rapidly as it moved inland, eventually dissipating near the Queensland-Northern Territory border on the 6 March.Bureau of Meteorology June 10, 2017 Tropical Cyclone Warren http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/history/warren.shtml Severe Tropical Cyclone Chloe Aus Chloe Apr 7 1995 0507Z.jpg Chloe 1995 track.png 3 April 9 April 120 125 920 The third major cyclone to strike Australia in the season, Severe Tropical Cyclone Chloe reached a peak intensity of Category 5, before weakening slightly to Category 4 prior to making landfall in the uninhabited section of the coast of the Kimberley region of Western Australia on 7 April 1995. The storm dissipated well inland. Tropical Depression 20S Aus 20P 1995-04-02 2330Z.png 1 April 6 April 25 1004 Tropical Depression 20S existed from 1 April to 6 April.

The low started intensifying rapidly, becoming a category 1 tropical cyclone early on 17 April, being named Agnes. Agnes then moved around erratically over the next few days, eventually reaching peak intensity as a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone, with wind gusts of 165 km/h and a central pressure of 945 hPa. Agnes proceeded to weaken, becoming a tropical low on the 22 April before dissipating late that day.
