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.

∙ 7y agoHurricane Alley is an area of warm water in the Atlantic Ocean stretching from the west coast of northern Africa to the east coast of Central America and Gulf Coast of the Southern United States. Many hurricanes form within this area. Depending on the prevailing winds, they usually make landfall on the East Coast. Exact paths vary.

Do tornadoes and hurricanes occur together?
Sometimes a hurricane can produce tornadoes, but most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.
What states do hurricanes occur on?
Hurricanes are most common in states that border warm ocean water. So hurricanes are most likely to occur from North Carolina south to Florida and from Florida west to Texas. All states on the east coast may get hurricanes, but they are less common further north.
Why do you only have hurricanes during hurricane season?
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.

Cyclones are a broad category of storm systems that include hurricanes and typhoons and occur at all times of storm. Hurricanes and typhoons are essentially the same kind of storm only caller hurricanes in the north Atlantic and northeast Pacific and are called typhoons in the northwest Pacific Ocean. North Atlantic hurricanes mostly occur in June-November. Northeast Pacific hurricanes mostly occur May-November. Typhoons typically occur April-January. Tornadoes are most common in the months of April-June

They do, but most tornadoes don't make international news and generally, the strongest tornadoes that do most of the serious damage occur in the U.S. Hurricanes occur in the southern hemisphere, but are called cyclones or tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.
