A hurricane begins as a tropical disturbance, typically over warm ocean waters where temperatures exceed 26.5°C (80°F). As warm, moist air rises, it creates an area of low pressure, causing surrounding air to flow in and also rise. This process leads to the formation of thunderstorms, and if conditions remain favorable—such as low wind shear and sufficient moisture—the storm can intensify, organizing into a tropical storm and eventually developing into a hurricane. The Coriolis effect helps the system to spin, solidifying its cyclone structure.
