The Brazilian Navy reinforces that if the wind intensity reaches or exceeds 63 kilometers per hour, it will be reclassified as Subtropical Storm “Kurumí,” a term in Tupi-Guarani that means “boy.”
The probable area of formation of the subtropical cyclone will be offshore, between the Northern state of Rio de Janeiro and the Southern state of Espírito Santo, initially moving South, affecting weather and sea conditions between the states of Santa Catarina and Bahia starting on the morning of the 23rd.
Winds are expected to come from the Northeast to North with intensity of up to 87 km/h (47 knots) offshore, between the state of Rio de Janeiro, north of Arraial do Cabo (RJ), and the state of Bahia, south of Caravelas (BA), between the morning of the 23rd and the 25th.
Winds are also expected to come from the Northeast to North with intensity of up to 61 km/h (33 knots) offshore, in the state of Bahia, between the cities of Caravelas (BA) and Ilhéus (BA), between the morning of the 23rd and the 25th.
The winds could cause maritime agitation resulting in waves from Southeast to East with heights between 3.0 and 4.0 meters offshore, between the state of Santa Catarina, north of Laguna (SC), and the state of Rio de Janeiro, south of Arraial do Cabo (RJ), between the morning of the 23rd and the 25th.
Oil companies operating in the risk areas are alert to ensure the safety of their crews. One of them is Shell, which issued the following statement to Petronotícias: “The offshore operational units of Shell Brasil (FPSO Espírito Santo and FPSO Fluminense) are aware of this forecast and prepared for these adverse weather conditions. Under these conditions, onboard activities are constantly evaluated, always prioritizing the safety of the crew and the environment.”
