Hurricanes occur in or near the tropics over water and in coastal areas. This is because hurricanes are fueled by very warm, very moist air. The amount of moisture needed can only be found over warm ocean water.

This is because hurricanes get their energy from water vapor that evaporates from warm ocean water. At latitudes higher than 30 degrees the water usually isn't warm enough. At latitudes lower than 5 degrees the Coriolis force is too weak for storms to develop their spin.
