Hurricanes need warm water, in order to be created. It must be about 27 degrees C and the water must also be a shallow depth of approximately 50-60m. The very warm air from the storm and the ocean surface combine and begin rising, creating low pressure at the surface. The opposing trade winds cause the storm to start spinning, and the rising warm air causes pressure to decrease at higher altitudes. Air rises faster to fill this low pressure, in turn drawing more warm air from the Sea and sucking cooler, drier air downwards. As the storm moves over the ocean it picks up more warm, moist air, causing wind speeds to increase as more air is sucked into the low pressure centre. That is why warm water is so important to the creation if hurricanes. This also explains why hurricanes are rare to the UK.

What month is A hurricane is most likely to form?
august
Where do hurricanes most occur?
Tropical places. New Orleans seems to take a big hit most of the time.
Where is the natural disaster of hurricanes most likely to occur?
Anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean north of the equator. Most form in warm waters, especially off the coast of west Africa near the Cape Verde Islands. Rarely are hurricanes found south of Leeward Islands in the southern Caribbean Sea.
How do hurricanes occur most frequently?
They happen more frequently because heat from the sea is usually more available to regions that are situated near seas and oceans thats why hurricans are always common in america and northern africa
Hurricanes form over what type of sea?
Hurricanes develop over warm seas.
Why is the Indian ocean the most violent of oceans?
The Indian ocean is one of the warmest oceans and more hurricanes occur over warm seas, which makes the sea extremely violent.
Regions where hurricanes most occur?
The Caribbean has more hurricanes that any other region in the world. This is because a lot of heat is stored just above the sea level, and it is a good place for storms to occur.
What topography is needed for a hurricane to occur?
Hurricanes are not dependent on topography. They form at sea.

red sea
Hurricanes eventually move back out to sea and blow themselves out?
Most hurricanes blow themselves out over land, although some move back out to sea.

Why do most hurricanes in the US occur in late summer or early in the fall?
Because this is when the ocean's waters are the warmest. Recall that the summer solstice is around June 21 (using the northern hemisphere for this example), which is when the suns rays are strongest in the northern hemisphere. It typically takes another month or so for most areas to experience, climatologically, their warmest summer weather. This is because it takes time for the land to heat up and air masses to move poleward. But water takes longer to heat up than land, and it is not until later in August and September that water is at its warmest (consider that Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum in mid-September, which is nearing the equinox)!
