Tropical Storm Akara was a tropical system that formed in the South Atlantic Ocean, near the southeast coast of Brazil.
Akara was unique because tropical storms in the South Atlantic are a rarity due to the atmospheric and oceanic conditions found there.
The last tropical storm to form in the South Atlantic Ocean basin prior to Akara was Tropical Storm Iba back in 2019.
Akara stayed offshore until it devolved into a subtropical depression, only bring rain and wind to the Brazilian coast.
