Hurricane Joaquin had the same cause as most other Atlantic hurricanes. Joaquin began as an area of low pressure producing showers and thunderstorms over the warm waters of the tropical Atlantic Ocean. Fed by moisture from that water, the system organized and intensified becoming Tropical Depression Eleven and later Tropical Storm Joaquin. More moisture fed into the storm causing it to become a hurricane and, soon after, a major hurricane, eventually reaching category 4 intensity.

Hurricane Joaquin was a natural occurrence resulting from a combination of warm ocean waters, favorable atmospheric conditions, and the formation of a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean. It intensified into a hurricane and followed a typical path, impacting various areas along its route. The specific factors that led to its formation and intensity are complex and can vary for each hurricane.
