Where does severe storms start?

Answer 1

It depends on what type of severe storm you are talking about. A hurricane, for instance, comes from warm parts of the ocean. The warmer the water, the more severe the storm. Cyclones start south of the Equator, in the south-west Pacific Ocean, west of 160 degrees longitude or in the south-east Indian ocean east east of 90 degrees east, or in the south-west Indian Ocean. Hurricanes are found north of the equator, usually in the North Atlantic Ocean, the northeast Pacific east of the International date line, or in the south Pacific Ocean east of 160 degrees E. They actuallt form over the warm waters of the Equator. Typhoons form in the northwest Pacific Ocean, west of the International date line and in the China Seas.
