The '''2019 Ardonia arrocane season''' is the ongoing annual period in which tropical cyclones—known regionally as '''arrocanes'''—form in the '''Ardonian Ocean''' and adjacent waters. The season officially began on May 15 and will end on October 31, dates which conventionally delimit the period each year when arrocanes are most likely to develop across the region. The season is monitored by the '''National Arrocane Center (NAC)''' in '''Ataraxia''', with local coordination provided by regional '''National Weather Service (NWS)''' offices across the continent.
 
So far, the season has featured the formation of two named storms: '''Arrocane Arlene''', which reached Category 5 intensity and became the strongest storm ever recorded in the basin, and '''Tropical Storm Beryl''', a short-lived but record-breaking system over the southeastern Ardonian Ocean. Arlene caused significant impacts to multiple regions of Ardonia and is still ongoing, while Beryl remained entirely at sea and caused no reported damage or fatalities.
 
The 2019 season follows the 1865 season which was historic and has already produced multiple record-setting events, with additional activity possible in the coming months.

Prior to the official start of the 2019 Arrocane season, multiple meteorological agencies across Ardonia issued forecasts anticipating an active year. The '''National Arrocane Center (NAC)''' released its early outlook on March 31, calling for 16 to 20 named storms, 8 to 11 arrocanes, and 3 to 6 major arrocanes. A revised outlook published on May 19 increased those ranges to 21 to 24 named storms, 13 to 17 arrocanes, and 5 to 8 major systems.
Forecasts from other agencies varied in intensity, but a majority anticipated an above-average or near-record season. '''Voltage/Jordinium (VOLT)''' and '''Viewer (VW)''' predicted 18 and 17 named storms respectively, while '''T1xfed (T1X)''' projected as many as 12 full arrocanes and 6 majors. The '''North Alisean Hurricane Center (NAHC)''' issued one of the highest forecasts, predicting 18 to 22 named storms and 9 to 12 arrocanes.
Several other regional centers released forecasts in mid-May. '''Exile (EX)''' forecast 24 named storms and 9 arrocanes, while '''Nevaeh (NF)''' predicted 17 to 21 storms and 6 to 11 arrocanes, including up to four major systems. '''ECThunderstorms (ECT)''' called for 20 named storms and 10 arrocanes, and '''Hurricane Dave (HDC)''' projected a similar outlook with 17 storms and 9 arrocanes. Lastly, '''HA Animations (HA)''' predicted 19 named storms and 10 arrocanes, with the potential for 4 major events.
The surge in predictions was attributed to anticipated above-normal sea surface temperatures across the '''Gulf of Ardonia''' and an ongoing phase of the Southern Trade Oscillation (STO), which historically correlates with heightened cyclonic activity in the region. Several agencies, including the '''NAC''' and '''HA''', noted the potential for multiple Category 4 and 5 arrocanes.
As of now, the season has seen the development of only two named storms—'''[[Arrocane Arlene]]''', a Category 5 system still active, and '''Tropical Storm Beryl''', a minimal storm that remained at sea. Though early activity has not matched forecasted expectations, experts caution that the peak of the season typically occurs between July and September.

Arrocane '''Arlene''' was the first named storm of the season and the most powerful arrocane ever recorded in the Ardonia basin. Forming on May 17 over the central Gulf of Ardonia, Arlene underwent explosive intensification, reaching Category 5 strength just four days later with peak sustained winds of '''180 mph (290 km/h)''' and a minimum central pressure of '''899 mbar''', both new basin records.
 
Arlene became the '''''earliest Category 5 arrocane on record''''', and the first to make landfall at that intensity. On '''May 21''', it made its first landfall in '''Po’Hatu, Cydonia''' with sustained winds of '''175 mph''' and a pressure of '''908 mbar''', making it the '''''most intense landfalling storm''''' in Ardonian history. After briefly weakening, Arlene struck '''Meridian''' on '''May 23''' at Category 4 strength ('''155 mph, 931 mbar'''), and made its final landfall in '''Port Kazu''' on '''May 25''' as a Category 3 system ('''115 mph, 976 mbar''').
 
Following its third landfall, Arlene stalled over Port Kazu for over 24 hours, unleashing catastrophic flooding and storm surge. It eventually drifted eastward, crossing into the Eastern Ardonian Ocean near '''Blade Island''' and transitioning to an extratropical cyclone before dissipating just northeast of the island on '''May 30'''.
 
Arlene broke a total of '''''15 records''''', including highest storm surge ('''50.75 ft'''), most rainfall from an arrocane ('''250.59 in'''), highest confirmed wave height ('''99.3 ft'''), and smallest observed eye ('''4.4 mi'''). It maintained Category 5 strength for '''30 hours''' and underwent the fastest intensification on record, with a 24-hour increase of '''70 mph''' in wind speed and a pressure drop of '''69 mbar'''.
 
Arlene caused catastrophic damage across southern Ardonia, particularly in '''Po’Hatu''', '''Meridian''', '''Port Kazu''', and coastal regions of '''Phaethon''' and '''Blade Island'''. It resulted in at least '''206 confirmed deaths''', over '''3,200 injuries''', and '''$75.7 billion AC''' in damages (preliminary), making it the costliest and deadliest arrocane in Ardonian history.

Tropical Storm '''Beryl''' was the second named storm of the season, forming from a low-pressure system over the '''southeastern Ardonian Ocean''' on early on May 23. The system gradually organized and reached tropical storm strength by May 25, remaining entirely over open waters throughout its lifespan. Beryl peaked with sustained winds of '''65 mph (105 km/h)''' and a minimum central pressure of '''989 mbar''' on the early morning of May 26 before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone on May 27. It dissipated completely by May 28 at 2300 Ardonian time and by 0000 on May 29 in terms of Zulu time.
 
Although Beryl caused no damage or fatalities, it broke multiple historical records dating back to the '''Great Arrocane Year of 1865'''. It became the '''strongest tropical storm''' on record for the basin by windspeed, surpassing all previous non-hurricane systems. Beryl also entered the '''top 10 most intense arrocanes by pressure''', ranking just behind Tropical Storm Eleven of 1865 (988 mbar), according to the '''NAC/NWS'''. Despite its limited impact, Beryl’s meteorological significance earned it a place in the basin’s historical records.

The 2019 Ardonia arrocane season is the ongoing annual period in which tropical cyclones—known regionally as arrocanes—form in the Ardonian Ocean and adjacent waters. The season officially began on May 15 and will end on October 31, dates which conventionally delimit the period each year when arrocanes are most likely to develop across the region. The season is monitored by the National Arrocane Center (NAC) in Ataraxia, with local coordination provided by regional National Weather Service (NWS) offices across the continent.

So far, the season has featured the formation of two named storms: Arrocane Arlene, which reached Category 5 intensity and became the strongest storm ever recorded in the basin, and Tropical Storm Beryl, a short-lived but record-breaking system over the southeastern Ardonian Ocean. Arlene caused significant impacts to multiple regions of Ardonia and is still ongoing, while Beryl remained entirely at sea and caused no reported damage or fatalities.

The 2019 season follows the 1865 season which was historic and has already produced multiple record-setting events, with additional activity possible in the coming months.

Prior to the official start of the 2019 Arrocane season, multiple meteorological agencies across Ardonia issued forecasts anticipating an active year. The National Arrocane Center (NAC) released its early outlook on March 31, calling for 16 to 20 named storms, 8 to 11 arrocanes, and 3 to 6 major arrocanes. A revised outlook published on May 19 increased those ranges to 21 to 24 named storms, 13 to 17 arrocanes, and 5 to 8 major systems.

Forecasts from other agencies varied in intensity, but a majority anticipated an above-average or near-record season. Voltage/Jordinium (VOLT) and Viewer (VW) predicted 18 and 17 named storms respectively, while T1xfed (T1X) projected as many as 12 full arrocanes and 6 majors. The North Alisean Hurricane Center (NAHC) issued one of the highest forecasts, predicting 18 to 22 named storms and 9 to 12 arrocanes.

Several other regional centers released forecasts in mid-May. Exile (EX) forecast 24 named storms and 9 arrocanes, while Nevaeh (NF) predicted 17 to 21 storms and 6 to 11 arrocanes, including up to four major systems. ECThunderstorms (ECT) called for 20 named storms and 10 arrocanes, and Hurricane Dave (HDC) projected a similar outlook with 17 storms and 9 arrocanes. Lastly, HA Animations (HA) predicted 19 named storms and 10 arrocanes, with the potential for 4 major events.

The surge in predictions was attributed to anticipated above-normal sea surface temperatures across the Gulf of Ardonia and an ongoing phase of the Southern Trade Oscillation (STO), which historically correlates with heightened cyclonic activity in the region. Several agencies, including the NAC and HA, noted the potential for multiple Category 4 and 5 arrocanes.

As of now, the season has seen the development of only two named storms—Arrocane Arlene, a Category 5 system still active, and Tropical Storm Beryl, a minimal storm that remained at sea. Though early activity has not matched forecasted expectations, experts caution that the peak of the season typically occurs between July and September.

Arrocane Arlene

Main article: Arrocane Arlene
Category 5 arrocane (AAWS)
Duration May 17 – May 30
Peak intensity 180 mph (290 km/h) (1-min);
899 mbar (hPa)

Arrocane Arlene was the first named storm of the season and the most powerful arrocane ever recorded in the Ardonia basin. Forming on May 17 over the central Gulf of Ardonia, Arlene underwent explosive intensification, reaching Category 5 strength just four days later with peak sustained winds of 180 mph (290 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 899 mbar, both new basin records.

Arlene became the earliest Category 5 arrocane on record, and the first to make landfall at that intensity. On May 21, it made its first landfall in Po’Hatu, Cydonia with sustained winds of 175 mph and a pressure of 908 mbar, making it the most intense landfalling storm in Ardonian history. After briefly weakening, Arlene struck Meridian on May 23 at Category 4 strength (155 mph, 931 mbar), and made its final landfall in Port Kazu on May 25 as a Category 3 system (115 mph, 976 mbar).

Following its third landfall, Arlene stalled over Port Kazu for over 24 hours, unleashing catastrophic flooding and storm surge. It eventually drifted eastward, crossing into the Eastern Ardonian Ocean near Blade Island and transitioning to an extratropical cyclone before dissipating just northeast of the island on May 30.

Arlene broke a total of 15 records, including highest storm surge (50.75 ft), most rainfall from an arrocane (250.59 in), highest confirmed wave height (99.3 ft), and smallest observed eye (4.4 mi). It maintained Category 5 strength for 30 hours and underwent the fastest intensification on record, with a 24-hour increase of 70 mph in wind speed and a pressure drop of 69 mbar.

Arlene caused catastrophic damage across southern Ardonia, particularly in Po’Hatu, Meridian, Port Kazu, and coastal regions of Phaethon and Blade Island. It resulted in at least 206 confirmed deaths, over 3,200 injuries, and $75.7 billion AC in damages (preliminary), making it the costliest and deadliest arrocane in Ardonian history.

Tropical Storm Beryl

Tropical storm (AAWS)
Duration May 23 – May 29
Peak intensity 65 mph (105 km/h) (1-min);
989 mbar (hPa)

Tropical Storm Beryl was the second named storm of the season, forming from a low-pressure system over the southeastern Ardonian Ocean on early on May 23. The system gradually organized and reached tropical storm strength by May 25, remaining entirely over open waters throughout its lifespan. Beryl peaked with sustained winds of 65 mph (105 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 989 mbar on the early morning of May 26 before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone on May 27. It dissipated completely by May 28 at 2300 Ardonian time and by 0000 on May 29 in terms of Zulu time.

Although Beryl caused no damage or fatalities, it broke multiple historical records dating back to the Great Arrocane Year of 1865. It became the strongest tropical storm on record for the basin by windspeed, surpassing all previous non-hurricane systems. Beryl also entered the top 10 most intense arrocanes by pressure, ranking just behind Tropical Storm Eleven of 1865 (988 mbar), according to the NAC/NWS. Despite its limited impact, Beryl’s meteorological significance earned it a place in the basin’s historical records.
