Why don't hurricanes form in the Gulf of Mexico in January?
There are two reasons. First, hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. The water is generally not warm enough in January to support the formation of hurricanes. Second, upper level winds are strongest in the winter. Strong upper level winds mean strong wind shear, which prevents hurricanes form organizing.
Where are hurricanes most likely going to strike hot places or cold places?
Hurricanes are most likely to strike hot places because they form over warm ocean waters where there is sufficient heat and moisture to fuel their development. Cold places typically do not experience hurricanes because the water temperatures are not warm enough to support their formation and intensification.
How cold does it need to be for glaciers to form?
below the freezing tempature of water
HWhat occurs in the ocean where hurricanes begin that make hurricanes occur during the late summer and fall?
Hurricanes need warm ocean water to form, and late summer and early fall is when the oceans are warmest. This is because water takes a long time to heat up an a long time to cool down.
Will hurricanes form without gravity?
No, hurricanes require the Earth's rotation and gravity to form. Gravity helps to create the low-pressure systems needed for hurricanes to develop, while the Earth's rotation influences their direction and spin. Without gravity, the necessary conditions for hurricanes to form would not exist.
Why are hurricanes not formed near Canada?
Hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. The waters near Canada are to cold for hurricanes to form.
Why don't hurricanes form over th north Atlantic oecan?
Hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. Up north the water is too cold.
Why is the Caribbean not usually affected by hurricanes in spring?
Hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. In the spring the oceans have not fully warmed up yet.

Why are tornadoes and hurricanes rare in Oregon?
There is a cold ocean current off the coast of Oregon that tends to stabilize the atmosphere. Tornadoes need strong thunderstorms to form. Such storms form best when there is a layer of warm, moist, unstable air in the lower atmosphere. The cold water makes it difficult for such a pattern to arise. Hurricanes have a similar need, only, much greater. The amount of moisture that a hurricane needs can only be found over very warm ocean water. Any hurricane heading in the direction of Oregon would quickly degenerate over the cold water, making it virtually impossible for the state to get a hurricane.

Why the hurricanes only form in seas and don't form in rivers?
Hurricanes require a very large, deep mass of warm water to provide the moisture they need for "fuel." The only thing large enough and deep enough to serve that purpose is the ocean. Rivers are too shallow and far too small to power hurricanes.
Why don't hurricanes hit the West Coast of the US?
Hurricanes typically form in the Atlantic Ocean and move westward towards the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and East Coast of the U.S. The cold waters and strong wind shear along the West Coast of the U.S. make it less conducive for hurricanes to maintain their strength and impact that region. Additionally, the prevailing wind patterns tend to steer hurricanes away from the West Coast.
Why are there no hurricanes in Ireland?
Hurricanes usually occur near the tropics. Britain and Ireland are too far north to be affected by them. They usually need areas of warm water to form over, which they have in parts of the mid-Atlantic, Caribbean and Pacific. Occasionally a hurricane that has come up along the coast of the United States of America may cross the Atlantic and head towards Europe. It will not be as strong as it would be before that, so the storm is not as severe. The north Atlantic is not as warm as the mid-Atlantic so the hurricane won't pick up as much strength. *Edit* - If I may add to that statement hurricanes are usually non-tropical by the time they reach the isles; however Hurricane Debby of 1961 made landfall in Ireland while still a tripcal system.
