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.
| Track=
 
| First storm formed=April 29, 2024
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 broke nearly every single record known, while Beryl remained entirely at sea and caused no reported damage or fatalities.
| Last storm dissipated=December 14, 2024
 
| Strongest storm name=Milton
Early-season activity has been unusually intense, with both storms forming within the first two weeks of the official season. Arlene’s catastrophic impacts have already prompted heightened alertness from regional governments, many of whom have ramped up preparedness campaigns and accelerated emergency planning. In Cydonia, where Arlene made multiple landfalls, meteorological infrastructure is being reassessed following widespread communication failures during the storm.
| Strongest storm pressure=887
 
| Strongest storm winds=175
Climatologists at the NAC have noted that the early onset of extreme conditions may signal a pattern of sustained activity throughout the season. Elevated sea surface temperatures, persistent atmospheric instability, and the ongoing positive phase of the '''Southern Trade Oscillation (STO)''' have all been identified as contributing factors. These conditions mirror those seen in other historically active seasons, leading many forecasting agencies to revise their outlooks upward.

| Total depressions=34 (Record High)
Although no new systems have formed in the past several days, meteorologists warn that this quiet period could be short-lived. The climatological peak of the season typically occurs between late July and early September, and multiple long-range models suggest a series of favorable waves emerging from the Equatorial Divide later in the summer. Emergency officials are urging citizens in low-lying coastal areas to remain alert and to not interpret the recent lull as a sign that the season is weakening.

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.

The '''2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season''' was a well above-average hurricane season, with 34 depressions, 33 named storms, 16 hurricanes, and a record breaking 10 major hurricanes. ''Alberto'' formed on April 29, starting the season, and ''Lucio'', the last system of the season, dissipated on December 14, ending the season.
 
==Timeline==
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.
{{TC season timeline|
 
<MARKUP>
Arlene became the '''''earliest Category 5 arrocane on record''''', and the first to make landfall at that intensity. On '''May 22''', 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''').

#enddate 2024-12-31
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 '''257 confirmed deaths''', over '''4,000 injuries''', and '''$96.4 billion AC''' in damages (preliminary via NAC/NWS Port Kazu), making it the costliest and deadliest arrocane in Ardonian history.

===Tropical Storm Beryl===
{{Infobox Hurricane System|1-min winds=65|scale-type=aaws|pressure=989|duration=May 23 – May 29|image=Beryl_0500_AT_5262019.png|track=Beryl_Full_Track.png}}
 
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 '''second strongest tropical storm''' on record for the basin by windspeed, surpassing all previous non-hurricane systems except Tropical Storm Ten of 1865 (70 mph). 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 Ardonia Meteorological Organization (AMO) has listed the name Beryl as a 9% likelihood of retirement due to the historical records it broke. However, while it made a historical intensity in the basin, it wasn’t an impactful storm which will hinder its retirement likelihood. This could change later on, but it will remain unlikely.

Ardonia arrocane seasons
2019, 2020

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 broke nearly every single record known, while Beryl remained entirely at sea and caused no reported damage or fatalities.

Early-season activity has been unusually intense, with both storms forming within the first two weeks of the official season. Arlene’s catastrophic impacts have already prompted heightened alertness from regional governments, many of whom have ramped up preparedness campaigns and accelerated emergency planning. In Cydonia, where Arlene made multiple landfalls, meteorological infrastructure is being reassessed following widespread communication failures during the storm.

Climatologists at the NAC have noted that the early onset of extreme conditions may signal a pattern of sustained activity throughout the season. Elevated sea surface temperatures, persistent atmospheric instability, and the ongoing positive phase of the Southern Trade Oscillation (STO) have all been identified as contributing factors. These conditions mirror those seen in other historically active seasons, leading many forecasting agencies to revise their outlooks upward.

Although no new systems have formed in the past several days, meteorologists warn that this quiet period could be short-lived. The climatological peak of the season typically occurs between late July and early September, and multiple long-range models suggest a series of favorable waves emerging from the Equatorial Divide later in the summer. Emergency officials are urging citizens in low-lying coastal areas to remain alert and to not interpret the recent lull as a sign that the season is weakening.

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 22, 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 257 confirmed deaths, over 4,000 injuries, and $96.4 billion AC in damages (preliminary via NAC/NWS Port Kazu), 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 second strongest tropical storm on record for the basin by windspeed, surpassing all previous non-hurricane systems except Tropical Storm Ten of 1865 (70 mph). 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 Ardonia Meteorological Organization (AMO) has listed the name Beryl as a 9% likelihood of retirement due to the historical records it broke. However, while it made a historical intensity in the basin, it wasn’t an impactful storm which will hinder its retirement likelihood. This could change later on, but it will remain unlikely.
