| They do kind of need official naming in the South Atlantic Ocean east of South America (WMO should make it official with Brazil) and the Mediterranean too. But I never knew about anything forming west of South America. I didn't know about the one in 2015. From the Weather Underground article: "In 2015, a similar subtropical cyclone formed near Easter Island, which is located nearly 2,000 miles farther west of this week's cyclone. Researchers called it Subtropical Storm Katie." Here is a map of "six tropical cyclone Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres (RSMCs, red dots) together with six Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWCs)":  From: http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/Advisories-RSMCs.html |
