1990-1994 1995-1999 2000-2004 2005 2006 2007 The 2005 North Indian cyclone season has no bounds, but cyclones tend to form between April and December, with peaks in May and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean . SEASON SUMMARY In 2005, four named storms formed, all of which occurred in the Bay of Bengal. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center identified four more tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal. No tropical cyclones formed in Arabian Sea. With a total of eight storms, the 2005 cyclone season is tied for the 2nd busiest on record, tied with 1987 and behind 1992 with 12 storms. Tropical Depression 01B In the second week of January, an area of convection persisted southeast of Sri Lanka . It organized into a tropical depression on January 8 , but dissipated on the 10th due to vertical shear. Cyclonic Storm Hibaru Just behind the previous storm, a trough of low pressure developed into a tropical depression on January 14 . Located a few hundred miles east-southeast of Sri Lanka, it meandered to the west, becoming Cyclonic Storm Hibaru on the 16th. Like its predecessor, Hibaru dissipated southeast of Sri Lanka on the 17th. This is the first season with two systems forming in January. Cyclonic Storm Pyarr An area of convection developed in the South China Sea on September 12 . It moved west-northwestward, moving inland over Thailand on the 13th. It reached the Bay of Bengal on the 15th, and slowly developed. On the 17th it was upgraded to a tropical depression by the Indian Meteorological Department (but not by the JTWC), and on the 18th it became Cyclonic Storm Pyarr. The next day Pyarr made landfall, and on the 21st it dissipated over northwestern India . Tropical Storm 03B Tropical Storm 3B, which formed on October 2 , hit Bangladesh on the 3rd as a 40 mph tropical storm. Tropical Storm 04B 40 mph Tropical Storm 4B hit southeastern India on October 28 and dissipated the next day. Pakistan named this storm Baaz, the next name on the list, but the official RSMC (New Delhi) did not upgrade it. Tropical Storm Baaz ]] The Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert early on November 27 on a low pressure system with persistent convection around its center not far from the Andaman Islands in the Bay Of Bengal . At 2100Z that same day, about 100 n mi west of Port Blair , the JTWC upgraded the low to a tropical depression, with the Indian Meteorological Department following suit the next day. It was upgraded into a tropical storm on the JTWC's following advisory at 0900Z on November 28 . On November 29 , the official RSMC in New Delhi upgraded the tropical storm to Baaz. The storm eventually dissipated as a significant tropical cyclone over sea near or north of Chennai. Cyclonic Storm Fanoos Tropical Storm 06B formed 550 nautical miles east of Chennai on December 6 , west of the Andaman Islands . It became Cyclonic Storm Fanoos on December 7 . However, Fanoos weakened into a deep depression prior to crossing north Tamil Nadu coast near Vedaranyam at 0530 UTC (1100 IST ) December 10 . Fanoos weakened further into a low pressure area over south Tamil Nadu coast next day. Its remnants entered Arabian Sea but regeneration did not occur. Tropical Cyclone 07B A depression formed over Southeast Bay of Bengal on December 15 . On December 17 it was recognised by the JTWC when it was 220 nautical mile east of Colombo, Sri lanka. The system weakened into an area of low pressure over water on December 22 .
