Many Caribbean hurricanes, or at least their precursors, originate off the coast of Africa and develop as they cross the Atlantic. These are called Cape Verde type hurricanes. At other times they can originate at other parts of the Atlantic or even, less often, in the Caribbean itself.
Hurricanes require warm ocean water to develop. The Caribbean is a very warm beody of water that provides excellent conditions for hurricane formation. Tropical disturbances, which act as sorts of seeds to start hurricanes, commonly move off the African coast.
June Hurricanes usually form in the Western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.
Yes. Hurricanes typically form later in the year in June, but they do occasionally occur.
Hurricanes form from areas of low atmospheric pressure.
Hurricanes are can only be created over tropical waters. The Caribbean islands are in the Caribbean sea, south of the gulf of Mexico which have the perfect warm waters for forming and intensifying hurricanes.

Hi Most hurricanes form in the Atlantic but they can form in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean as well. Typhoons form in the Pacific Ocean. A good site to learn about hurricanes is at: http://www.hurricaneknowledge.com
The Caribbean is a tropical sea with warm waters. Hurricane are topical systems that form and maintain themselves over warm water, making the Caribbean a prime location for hurricanes.

Yes. Hurricanes are common in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Tornadoes are less common, but can be produced by hurricanes.
Hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. In the spring the oceans have not fully warmed up yet.
potentially all Caribbean countries can experience hurricanes.

No. Only Atlantic hurricanes, and even then, only about half of Atlantic hurricanes start there. Hurricanes can also form in the west Atlantic and the Caribbean. Hurricane Katrina, for example, formed near the Bahamas.
