For anyone else wondering about that single path near the southern part of Brazil: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Catarina

They could add 2 more if they updated the map into this year.

What 2? According to the wiki this is still the only one on record.

We had two cyclones in the last two/three months.

I don't think they were strong enough to be considered hurricane strength like Catarina. It's the only one on record.

They were stronger than usual (we actually had several cyclones this year if we count all of them) so I'm assuming that's what OP referred to. I still slept through one of them without even noticing it so nowhere as strong as Catarina.

This month's winds reached 2/3 the speed of Catarina.

Well that is super interesting. Was wondering if that was a visual artifact.
