A rare tropical storm develops in the South Atlantic Ocean near Angola; the first to be documented by satellites.
A rare tropical storm formed off the coast of Angola in the South Atlantic, the first such storm recorded by satellite.
On April 10, 1991, meteorologists identified an unusual tropical storm swirling in the South Atlantic near Angola.
Satellites tracked its development, marking the first time such a storm was documented in that hemisphere.
The system defied conventional tropical cyclone formation patterns, prompting climate scientists to study its origin.
Although it remained far from major landmasses, the storm offered new insights into tropical meteorology and oceanic conditions.
Researchers used the data to refine forecasting models and better understand the potential for rare Southern Hemisphere cyclones.
This event underscored the importance of satellite surveillance in monitoring global weather anomalies.
