Over the warm sea surface temperatures the non-tropical low gained tropical characteristics and by March 1 the system became organized enough to be declared Tropical Depression Five-Q while moving due south initially. Shortly before the hurricane would make landfall the system weakened to a tropical storm. During the next couple of days convection began to develop over the low pressure center of the cyclone while detaching from its frontal systems. Prior to the 21st century, no hurricane had ever been confirmed in the South Atlantic Ocean. 2020-21 South Atlantic hurricane season (Hypercane's Version) This marked the first official hurricane season for the South Atlantic Ocean in recorded history.

Adon soon weakened back to a tropical depression as the convection became displaced and the system weakened overall and would remain a depression for the next couple days as it went around a ridge of high pressure. This was the first recorded hurricane in the South Atlantic basin since geostationary satellite records began in 1966. Names retired will be marked in red. Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki is a FANDOM Lifestyle Community. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/where-do-most-hurricanes-occur.html Located in a favorable environment consisting of low wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures Benita continued to strengthen, gaining hurricane strength the next day on January 26 as an eye developed inside a central dense overcast. Even though the South Atlantic is a very unfavorable location for tropical cyclones, at least three possible such systems have been observed there since satellite monitoring began. While over the moderately warm sea surface temperatures of 76°F and lower than normal wind shear convection began to flare up near the center of circulation, with the Brazilian Navy beginning to take note of future development of the system. The depression strengthened to tropical storm strength twelve hours later and was given the name Danette, and in an environment favorable for continued strengthening the storm became a hurricane a day later while turning to the southwest and later the west. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. Eben continued to strengthen reaching category two strength while moving to the west. *Spanish translations, when available, are courtesy of the NWS San Juan Weather Forecast Office.

The depression was moving into an area of decreasing wind shear and warmer sea surface temperatures and on December 24 the depression was upgraded to a tropical storm, earning the name Adon. The storm peaked 12 hours later at 45 mph and 1002 millibars before it began to move into unfavorable conditions. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 2021 USD. The subtropical cyclone began to have convection flare up closer to the center of circulation and became fully tropical twelve hours later while approaching the coast of Angola. This storm came ashore along the coast of Brazil at Santa Catarina on March 28th with sustained winds of 65-70 kts (75-80 mph) and gusts of 85 kts (95 mph). Twelve hours later it became fully tropical as the convection moved over the center of circulation, and in an environment favorable for continued strengthening Eben became a hurricane a day later on March 17. A new subtropical storm in the Atlantic made history Monday night. As the system began to turn to the north and east it regained tropical storm intensity as convection re-established over the center of the storm. The Brazil National Institute of Meteorology is responsible for issuing the offical warning for tropical cyclones in the South Atlantic Basin.

Convection began to flare up near the center on March 13 as it lost its frontal systems and on March 14 the system became organized enough to be classified as Subtropical Depression Six-Q while heading towards the southeast. There are now six days remaining in the record-breaking 2020 hurricane season, and the National Hurricane Center is tracking an area of low pressure several hundred miles east of Florida.

Over the next four days it moved towards southern Africa with it making landfall on December 31 at minimal tropical storm intensity. While the low moved over warm sea surface temperatures of 81°F convection began to develop over the center of circulation with the Brazilian Navy taking note of the developing system. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Danette got closer to the State of Rio Grande Do Sul prompting evacuation orders to take place. An extratropical cyclone over the open South Atlantic was noted for possible subtropical development on March 12 while it moved to the southeast.

A rare tropical storm formed in the South Atlantic off the southeast coast of Brazil on Sunday, March 24, 2019. Later that day the depression began to move into an area of higher wind shear and decreasing sea surface temperatures which caused it to begin weakening. Tropical Storm Iba, seen here by GOES East, is currently located about 440 miles northeast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, according to the Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center (BNHC). On January 22 an extratropical cyclone moved off the coast of Brazil and began to be noted for possible subtropical or tropical cyclone development due to warm sea surface temperatures of 85°F.
