Where does a hurricane most often occur?
If you asking what part of the world do they occur the most then the answer is western pacific (which they call them Typhoon). Now in the Atlantic, they come out of Africa and most of the time form into hurricanes. So I have to say in between Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
In general what regions or areas are hurricanes or tornadoes most likely to occur?
Hurricanes and tornadoes are a common occurrence especially during the warmer months of the year in the United States. Typically Hurricanes target the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the country. Tornadoes can spring up in every part of the country but are usually focused in the south and central areas of the country.
Where do most hurricanes occur in the US?
Hurricane season in the Atlantic begins in June and ends at the end of November. Though, sometimes hurricanes can form before June and after November. Atlantic hurricanes occur most frequently between mid-August through October, with the peak of the hurricane season occurring in September. There are more hurricanes in the Atlantic because that's the only place they occur. A tropical cyclone in the Pacific or Indian ocean is called a typhoon. Otherwise, the storms are identical. There are actually far more tropical cyclones in the Pacific than in the Atlantic, mostly because the Pacific is much larger than the Atlantic. There is enough space for a typhoon to get going without much help. It can then blow right on through to the Indian Ocean. Atlantic hurricanes require assistance of the African easterly jet, so they only occur in northern summer. Pacific storms occur year round, and appear in both hemispheres; Atlantic hurricanes are (with one recorded exception) only in the northern hemisphere. I'm going to guess that you probably have the impression that Atlantic storms are more common because you live in North America. Pacific storms rarely affect the North American mainland. If you lived in eastern Asia or on the east coast of Africa, you'd have a different view. The above information is correct, except tropical cyclones that occur in the eastern Pacific Ocean (just off the west coast of Mexico) are also called Hurricanes.
Where do the worst hurricanes mainly mainly form?
I wouldn't say there is a usual location for the worst storms - the worst ones can occur anywhere that hurricanes frequently form, such as any part of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, any part of the Pacific, and parts of the Indian Ocean.

Overall, the Atlantic does as it is a larger body of water. For purposed of tracking hurricanes, however, the Gulf of Mexico is considered part of the Atlantic Basin.

Like all weather hurricanes occur in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere.

Yes. Hurricanes do form in November, and in fact November is officially part of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. 17 hurricanes have affected Florida in November.
Why don't hurricanes occur all year?
Hurricanes require warm ocean water to form. Through a large part of the year the oceans are not warm emough for hurricanes.
