We all know that Tropical Storm Ana is the first tropical storm of record in April since 1851 in the ... Tropical NORTH Atlantic ...

In April 1991, a South Atlantic Tropical Storm developed west of Congo in April 1991.

However, in rare occasions it may be possible to have tropical cyclones form in the South Atlantic. In McAdie and Rappaport (1991), the US National Hurricane Center documented the occurrence of a strong tropical depression/weak tropical storm that formed off the coast of Congo in mid-April 1991. The storm lasted about five days and drifted toward the west-southwest into the central South Atlantic. So far, there has not been a systematic study as to the conditions that accompanied this rare event.

Thanks for sharing that information Stormsfury because all year around tropical systems are out there but when I saw your title thread I thought that there was another storm before ANA in april but was not in the north atlantic.

The only source that I know of is from the UKMET Office concerning the South Atlantic Tropical Storm.
