Best Answer

It is due to the heat of the sea and the formation of depressions or low pressure areas coming off the west coast of Africa and heading towards the Caribbean. In the same way that places only get cold weather in winter, it is down to the time of year as to when conditions are most likely to cause hurricanes.
