Hurricane Eçaí was the first recorded major hurricane in the South Atlantic basin. Originating from a non-tropical low in February 2019, the low developed persistent deep convection near the center and became a tropical depression on February 18. Eçaí peaked as the equivalent of a category 4 hurricane, based on Dvorak satellite estimates.
