No, they require warm water to form.
No hurricanes do not start on land, because a hurricane needs warm water (at least 26C). Also hurricanes need water to easily evaporate, soon the water starts spinning and become a tropical storm, over some days the storm intensifies and becomes a hurricane. Once a hurricane reaches land it becomes smaller because it needs water to stay strong. And then it soon turns into a tropical storm again. A hurricane will stay alive as long as it is in warm water
It's not the water tempertaure that necessarily has to be 80 degress - it's the layer of warm moist air above the water. Some storms have been known to maintain tropical identity and lose very little strength over swampy regions because of the warm humidity close to the surface. But, typically, the air layer will warm or cool to equalize with the temperature of the water which is why, in general, you need 80 degree water temps
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water and need to stay over it to maintain their strength.
It is better to say that they form over warm, tropical water.
Hurricanes form over warm water.
Yes.
Hurricanes, by definition, are tropical. They can only form over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes form in warm tropical waters and the conditions aren't right in higher northern latitudes because the temperature of the water is cold.
No, hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes are powered by warm, moist air from tropical water. The moisture that hurricanes need is generally most abundant in the summer.

Hurricanes, by definition, are tropical. They can only form over warm ocean water.
thunderstorms only occur in warm weather
Hurricanes are tropical cyclones that depend on warm water and plentiful warm, moist air. The north Atlantic is not warm enough for hurricanes to develop and maintain themselves.
Hurricanes are tropical cyclones, meaning they can only form over warm ocean water. If they leave warm water they lose the characteristics that make them hurricanes. The waters off the coast of Alaska are far too cold to support hurricanes.
A tropical coastal area. Hurricanes are tropical cyclones that form over warm ocean water.
The Caribbean is a tropical sea with warm waters. Hurricane are topical systems that form and maintain themselves over warm water, making the Caribbean a prime location for hurricanes.
Hurricanes form in warm tropical waters and the conditions aren't right in higher northern latitudes because the temperature of the water is cold.
No. Hurricanes form over warm oceans in tropical areas when there is little to no wind shear. Strong wind shear will prevent a hurricane form organizing.
Hurricanes can occur outside of the official hurricane season, but it is rare. Hurricanes need warm ocean water in order to form and in most cases the water is not warm enough outside of hurricane season to support the formation of hurricanes. About 3% of hurricanes and tropical storms occur out of season.
No, hurricanes are confined to the tropics. Hurricanes require a lot of energy from warm ocean water. It is far too cold in and around Antarctica to support hurricanes.
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
