When the year began, a tropical low was active near the northwest coast of Australia, which soon became the first named storm of the year – Tropical Cyclone Raymond, which soon moved ashore the Kimberley region.{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/history/pdf/raymond.pdf|title=Tropical Cyclone Raymond|publisher=Bureau of Meteorology|accessdate=October 12, 2023}} Throughout the year, there were a total of nine named storms in the Australian basin. The strongest and most notable of these was powerful Cyclone Ingrid, which made landfalls in Queensland, Northern Territory, and Western Australia, the only cyclone on record to strike all three regions as a severe tropical cyclone.{{cite web|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/tropical-cyclone-knowledge-centre/history/past-tropical-cyclones/|title=Tropical cyclone reports|accessdate=October 12, 2023|publisher=Australian Bureau of Meteorology}} Two Australian storms entered the South-West Indian Ocean, where an additional six named storms developed.{{cite report|publisher=World Meteorological Organization|url=https://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/RAITCC-17En.pdf|year=2005|title=RA I Tropical Cyclone Committee for the South-West Indian Ocean Seventeenth Session|access-date=January 16, 2019}}{{cite report|title=Cyclone Season 2005–2006|url=http://www.meteo.fr/temps/domtom/La_Reunion/webcmrs9.0/anglais/archives/publications/data/cSaisoncyclonique20052006.pdf|work=RSMC La Réunion|publisher=Météo-France|access-date=March 29, 2016}} Also in the southern hemisphere, the South Pacific was active with eight named storms, including a succession of four cyclones that struck the Cook Islands – Meena, Nancy, Olaf, and Percy.
