What season do tsunamis most likely occur in?

Tsunamis are typically caused by earthquakes, especially those in which plates slide under or over each other. The stronger the quake on the Richter scale, the more likely the tsunami will be a large and dangerous event. These can happen any time of the year. Most areas of the tropics have a tropical cyclone season. These storms can also produce high storm surges and waves. Usually the warnings issued are for the storm itself as it includes high winds as well as high waves. These waves, however, are not related to tsunamis.
