==Season Summary==
In 2005, a total of twelve cyclonic disturbances were identified in North Indian Ocean, against a normal of fifteen. However, it was highest after 1992. Four of them became cyclonic storm in Bay of Bengal and were named, against a normal of five to six.<ref>http://www.wmo.ch/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/PTC33Report.pdf</ref>
==Storms==
===Tropical Depression 01B===
{{Infobox Hurricane Small

|Pressure=1000
}}
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 13]]. Located a few hundred miles east-southeast of Sri Lanka, it meandered to the west, becoming a Cyclonic Storm on the 15th. Like its predecessor, Hibaru dissipated southeast of Sri Lanka on the 17th. This is the first season with two systems forming in January. The formation of a cyclonic storm in the month of January over low latitude is very rare; the last such occurrence was in the year 1987 (30 Jan. – 4 Feb, over the Bay of Bengal).

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 [[September 17]] it was upgraded to a tropical depression by the [[Indian Meteorological Department]] (but not by the JTWC), and on [[September 18]] it became Cyclonic Storm Pyarr. The next day Pyarr made landfall, and on [[September 22]] it dissipated over northwestern [[India]].

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 28]], 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. Baaz refers to the [[Saker Falcon]] in [[Arabic]].

===Cyclonic Storm Fanoos===
{{Infobox Hurricane Small

Tropical Storm 06B formed {{convert|550|nmi|km}} 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. Fanoos means chandelier in [[Urdu]].
