five seasons=2002–03, 2003–04, 2004–05, 2005–06, 2006–07The 2004-05 Australian region cyclone season was an event in the ongoing cycle oftropical cyclone formation. It began onNovember 1 ,2004 and ended onApril 30 ,2005 . The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a "tropical cyclone year" separately from a "tropical cyclone season", which runs fromJuly 1 ,2004 toJune 30 ,2005 .Tropical cyclones in this area are monitored by four
Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre s (TCWCs): the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in Perth, Darwin, andBrisbane ; and TCWCPort Moresby inPapua New Guinea .http://www.wmo.ch/web/www/TCP/TCP24-English2004.pdf]__TOC__

10-min winds=45
1-min winds=55
Pressure=990A tropical disturbance developed in the east of the region monitored byRéunion onAugust 30 , from an active monsoon band that coincided with a burst in theMadden-Julian oscillation . The system moved southeast and entered the PerthTropical Cyclone Warning Centre 's area of responsibility onSeptember 1 .The system was upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Phoebe early on
September 2 when it was about 800 km west-northwest of theCocos 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.

10-min winds=45
1-min winds=50
Pressure=985A tropical low developed from a area of convection of theWestern Australia coast onDecember 30 . 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 onJanuary 1 and the convection began to increase, with it becoming Tropical Cyclone Raymond onJanuary 2 , 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 theGulf of Carpentaria onJanuary 5 . The low reversed direction and dissipated byJanuary 10 .

Once past the island, Kerry moved on a west-southwest course and it began to intensify after turning to the west. The storm reached a peak intensity of convert|85|kn|km/h before turning towards the south-southeast. The storm began to weaken under vertical shear and was downgraded to a depression onJanuary 13 .*Tropical Cyclone 2005's tracking chart of [http://www.tropicalcyclone2005.com/database/tc_besttracks_graphics/PACIFIC_FIJI/2005_05F_04U-08P-KERRY_BT.gifTropical Cyclone Kerry] .

Pressure=985A area of convection began to develop 930 km west-southwest ofJakarta onJanuary 6 , becoming a tropical low the next day. The low intensified as it drifted south and was named Sally 370 km east-southeast of theCocos Islands onJanuary 8 . 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 onJanuary 9 . The storm then rapidly weakened as a result of the presence of dry air and increasedwind shear , before dissipating early onJanuary 10 460 km west-southwest of the Cocos Islands. Cyclone Sally had no effects on land.

Tropical cyclones are assigned names by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology or
Papua New Guinea .Tropical cyclones are named if they are non-frontal low pressure systems of synoptic scale developing over warm waters, or Dvorak intensity analysis indicate the presence of gale force or stronger winds near the centre. Therefore, a tropical system with gales in one or more quadrants, but not near the centre, are not named.http://www.wmo.ch/web/www/TCP/OperationPlans/TCP24-English2004.pdf]
All names assigned in the Australian region are used sequentially, unlike lists used annually by the
National Hurricane Centre in theAtlantic Ocean and eastPacific Ocean . Only the names used during this cyclone season are listed below.
