However, the JTWC upgraded Vamei to typhoon status with peak winds of 120 km/h (75 mph), based on a United States Navy ship report from within the eye; a second ship reported wind gusts of 195 km/h (120 mph) in the southern portion of the eyewall. The storm was small and compact, with gales extending about 45 km (28 mi) from its center. At about 0830 UTC on 27 December, Vamei made

In a post-season re-evaluation, the JTWC classified the system as a continuation of Vamei, based on analysis of satellite imagery that indicated the circulation of Vamei crossed Sumatra without dissipating. Convection re-developed, and late on 30 December, the JTWC classified the cyclone as a tropical storm about 390 km (240 mi) west-southwest of the northwestern tip of Sumatra; initially, due to being treated as a separate system, it was classified as Tropical Cyclone 05B.

wide, a vortex needs to move slowly to develop. A persistent northerly wind surge for more than five days, which is needed to enhance the vortex, is present, on average, nine days each winter. The probability for a pre-existing tropical disturbance to develop into a tropical cyclone is between 10 and 30 percent. Thus, the conditions which resulted in the formation of Vamei are believed to occur once every 100–400 years.
