Outside of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, there was a rare South Atlantic tropical cyclone – Tropical Storm Iba, which lasted for five days off the coast of Brazil. Tropical Storm Iba is anchored about 150 miles east of Brazil's Espírito Santo state. [78][79][80] A fourth one formed in late January 2015. The lack of tropical cyclones in the region is generally attributed to cool sea surface temperatures and strong vertical wind shear according to the National Hurricane Center. [24], Before it developed into a subtropical cyclone, Arani produced torrential rains over portions of southeastern Brazil, resulting in flash flooding and landslides. Tropical Storm Iba swirls off the coast of Brazil in this infrared satellite image on March 25, 2019. Only one known hurricane was ever recorded in the South Atlantic. [48] Shortly thereafter, Guará became fully extratropical, later on the same day. [72] Bañado de Pajas, departament of Cerro Largo in Uruguay, recorded 240 mm (9.4 in) of rain. "NORMAS DA AUTORIDADE MARÍTIMA PARA AS ATIVIDADES DE METEOROLOGIA MARÍTIMA NORMAM-19 1a REVISÃO", Brazilian Navy Hydrography Center - Marine Meteorological Service, NOAA info on South Atlantic Tropical Cyclones, CIMSS Satellite Blog: "Another tropical cyclone in the South Atlantic Ocean?". Just after becoming a hurricane, it hit the southern coast of Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina on the evening of March 28, with winds estimated near 180 km/h (112 mph), making it a Category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Tropical Storm 27W 28 sept 2000 2031Z.jpg 600 × 537; 116 KB. [8] During January 2009, a subtropical storm developed in the basin, and in March 2010, a tropical storm developed, which was named Anita by the Brazilian public and private weather services. Strong wind shear, which disrupts the formation of cyclones, as well as a lack of weather disturbances favorable for development in the South Atlantic Ocean, make any strong tropical system extremely rare, and Hurricane Catarina in 2004 is the only recorded South Atlantic hurricane in history. On Sunday, Brazilian meteorologists began tracking a new tropical storm, Iba, that has formed off the country's southeast coast. [40] Moving south-southeastwards, Deni soon became extratropical shortly before 00:00 UTC on November 17. July 24, 2020. Tropical Storm Iba formed off the southeastern coast of Brazil on Sunday, becoming the first tropical cyclone classified in the area since 2010. This storm is the 1st fullty Tropical Storm in the S. Atlantic basin since 2010 (see Tropical Storm Antia). The next day it moved offshore northern Angola with a curved cloud pattern. [49], A tropical depression formed within a monsoon trough on March 23, 2019, off the coast of Bahia. https://watchers.news/2019/03/24/tropical-storm-iba-brazil-march-2019 Only one known hurricane has ever been recorded in the South Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Iba is anchored about 150 miles east of Brazil’s Espirito Santo state. Iba is the first named tropical storm in the South Atlantic in nearly 10 years. [6] However, it was noted that not all of the heavy rain and impacts were attributable to the system, as a large monsoon low covered much of Brazil at the time. Tropical Storm Iba developed about 600 miles northeast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, according to the Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center (BNHC). While the system was threatening the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, a newspaper used the headline "Furacão Catarina," which was originally presumed to mean "furacão (hurricane) threatening (Santa) Catarina (the state)". [17] Later that day a low pressure area developed just east of Vitória, Espírito Santo,[18] and by 12:00 UTC, the system organized into a subtropical depression, located about 140 km (87 mi) east of Campos dos Goytacazes. [16], Early on March 14, 2011, the Navy Hydrographic Center-Brazilian Navy (SMM), in coordination with the National Institute of Meteorology, were monitoring an organizing area of convection near the southeast coast of Brazil. [58] On October 28, Mani weakened to a low pressure area. At 3 p.m., Tropical Storm Rolly was located 225 kilometers west of Iba, Zambales. In its 5 a.m. weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration (PAGASA) said the center of Ulysses was already 415 kilometers west of Iba, Zambales. Iba was the first fully tropical cyclone named by Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center. In 2019, Tropical Storm "Iba" was named by the Brazilian Navy and best track data appeared in the ATCF system using that basin identifier, although best track data later in 2019 was being stored in a file named "bls902019". CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (, Center for Weather Forecast and Climatic Studies, Unusual areas of tropical cyclone formation, "Monthly Tropical Cyclone Summary March 2004", "Subject: Tropical Cyclone Names: G6) Why doesn't the South Atlantic Ocean experience tropical cyclones? Hurricane Iba was the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Southern Atlantic. Water temperatures in the tropics of the southern Atlantic are cooler than those in the tropical north Atlantic.[4].

The most intense tropical cyclone in the south Pacific, Cyclone Winston of 2016, is also the most intense storm … In fact, only one known hurricane was ever recorded in the South Atlantic. [1] Very strong vertical wind shear in the troposphere is considered a deterrent. Tropical Storm Iba formed off the coast of Brazil on Sunday, becoming the first South Atlantic tropical storm since 2010. The names are intended to reduce confusion in the event of concurrent storms in the same basin.Generally once storms produce sustained wind speeds of more than 33 knots (61 km/h; 38 … [14] Just after becoming a hurricane, it hit the southern coast of Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina on the evening of March 28, with winds estimated near 155 km/h (96 mph), making it a Category 2-equivalent on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.

[42] Later, it intensified quickly and then transitioned into a subtropical storm shortly before 22:00 BRST (00:00 UTC on December 5), with the name Eçaí assigned by the Hydrographic Center of the Brazilian Navy. It was initially thought that tropical cyclones did not develop within the South Atlantic. Weather Forecast. Since 2011, the Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center has assigned names to tropical and subtropical systems in the western side of the basin, near the eastern coast of Brazil, when they have sustained wind speeds of at least 65 km/h (40 mph), the generally accepted minimum sustained wind speed for a disturbance to be designated as a tropical storm in the North Atlantic basin. [54] After this bout of intensification, Kurumí moved southward and began to succumb to much more unfavorable conditions. After moving southwestward for a couple of days, on March 26, Iba turned southeastward. It was quickly upgraded to a Tropical Storm later on Wednesday before it made landfall on the Nicaraguan coast. On Sunday, Brazilian meteorologists began tracking a new tropical storm, Iba, that has formed off the country's southeast coast. On March 8, 2010, a previously extratropical cyclone developed tropical characteristics and was classified as a subtropical cyclone off the coast of southern Brazil. As of 10 p.m., PAGASA last located Rolly at 365 kilometers west of Iba, Zambales, sustaining winds of 65 kph and gusts of up to 80 kph. The front associated with Kurumí later played a role in the 2020 Brazilian floods and mudslides, dragging behind it heavy rainfall. After moving southwestward for a couple of days, on March 26, Iba turned southeastward. 24 Hour(Tomorrow evening): 380 km West Southwest of Iba, Zambales(14.1 °N, 116.7 °E) 48 Hour(Thursday evening):575 km North Northwest of Kalayaan Islands, Palawan (OUTSIDE PAR)( 16.0 °N, 112.7 °E) Wind Signal (Areas with TCWS) Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal no. [7][68] Between March 11–17, 2006, another system with a warm core developed and moved southward along the South Atlantic Zone, before dissipating. [6][7] During March 2004, an extratropical cyclone formally transitioned into a tropical cyclone and made landfall on Brazil, after becoming a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale. [1] After international presses started monitoring the system, "Hurricane Catarina" has formally been adopted. Tropical Storm Iba is a rare event off the South American Coast. [72] Damages and flooding were observed in Cerrito, São Lourenço do Sul and Pedro Osório. 1 weather alerts 1 closings/delays. [7], Two subtropical cyclones affected both Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil between 2009 and 2010. [61] Later that day, the system's winds intensified, and it was named Oquira by the Brazilian Hydrographic Center. The IBA became the first South Atlantic tropical storm since the subtropical storm Arani in 2010. Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) offers a leading resource for predicting and mapping tropical storm activity worldwide. Just after becoming a hurricane, it hit the southern coast of Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina on the evening of March 28, with winds estimated near 180 km/h (112 mph), making it a Category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The National Hurricane Center also began monitoring the system as Low SL90. A rare tropical storm formed in the South Atlantic off the southeast coast of Brazil on Sunday, March 24, 2019. Iba is the first named tropical storm in the South Atlantic in nearly 10 years. Could a Rare Tropical Storm Form in the South Atlantic Ocean?

Tropical cyclones that have been recorded since the start of the 1969–70 Tropical Cyclone year and have reached their peak intensity to the west of 160E are included in the list. [7], On February 22, 2006, a baroclinic cyclone intensified quickly and was estimated to have peaked with 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 105 km/h (65 mph), after radar data showed that the system had developed an eye and banding. [64] On December 31, Oquira transitioned into an extratropical low, and the Hydrographic Center issued their final advisory on the storm. ", "Frequently Asked Questions: How do tropical cyclones form? Afterward, the storm began to weaken due to strong wind shear. [23] The storm was classified as subtropical, as the convection was east of the center. [12][13] This is the only recorded tropical cyclone in the eastern South Atlantic. Tropical cyclones and subtropical cyclones are named by various warning centers to simplify communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts, watches, and warnings. Afterward, the storm began to weaken due to strong wind shear. Tropical Storm Iba developed about 600 miles northeast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, according to the Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center (BNHC). [41], An extratropical cyclone entered the South Atlantic Ocean from Santa Catarina early on December 4, 2016. At the Sixth WMO International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones (IWTC-VI) in 2006, it was questioned if any subtropical or tropical cyclones had developed within the South Atlantic before Catarina.
