Tropical Storm Akará hit the southern coast of Brazil from Sunday night into early Monday morning. It was a “very rare” episode that has rarely occurred in the 21st century, highlighted the local meteorological agency MetSul.
In that area is the state of Santa Catarina and in it Florianópolis, one of the favorite cities of Argentines to spend the summer in the neighboring country. The last time a cyclone was named off the Brazilian coast was two years ago with Yakecan.
