The most common origin of Atlantic hurricanes is several hundred miles west of Africa. They then make their way westward to the Caribbean Sea or American Atlantic coast.
Tropical cyclone is a generic term that includes both hurricanes and typhoons. Both hurricanes and typhoons are classified as tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. The only difference is that a hurricane is in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific while a typhoon is in the western Pacific.
No. While Sydney Australia does get the odd bit of freakish weather once in a while, overall the climate there is very calm. There is very litle to worry about with weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes.Hurricanes do not occur in the southern hemisphere at all. Cyclones are common in the tropical and sub-tropical waters of Australia, and the term "cyclone" is the generic term covering hurricanes, which are restricted to American waters, and typhoons, which occur in the China Sea and Asian waters.
If you look are both hemispheres, tropical cyclones can occur in any month. However, they most often occur in summer and early fall. This is generally July-October for the northern hemisphere and January-April for the southern hemisphere.
Hurricanes do not often impact temperate areas as the are mostly limited to tropical and subtropical regions. Tornadoes are more common than hurricanes in temperate climates, but affect grassland more often than forests.
yes cyclones are most common in certain parts of the world

They can happen at any time. The United States gets two types of cyclones: tropical cyclones (tropiical storms and hurricanes) and mid-latitude cyclones. Tropical cyclones typically hit the United States in the later half of summer and early fall. Mid-latitude cyclones are more common and can occur at any time, but are most common and strongest in the colder half of the year.
Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes and similar storms) are most common in the western portions of oceans in the tropics. Such storms are called hurricanes in the Atlantic ocean and the eastern Pacific hurricane.
No.Hurricanes do not occur in the southern hemisphere. Cyclones are common in the tropical and sub-tropical waters of Australia, and the term "cyclone" is the generic term covering hurricanes, which are restricted to American waters, and typhoons, which occur in the China Sea and Asian waters.Melbourne is too far south for cyclones to be able to either form, or track.
Ahurricane and a typhoon are essentially the same type of storm, that is tropical cyclones with winds of at least 74 mph. Both are kinds of cyclones. A cyclone is a low pressure system that rotates counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere..

All are forms of potentially dangerous weather.
Tropical storms and hurricanes.
Yes a tropical cyclone can develop but you wouldn't know till you saw it. They may be common in some areas but not all. But that is what i am guessing.
Hurricanes are powered by warm, moist air from tropical water. The moisture that hurricanes need is generally most abundant in the summer.
Yes. It it fairly common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall. Therefore, any state that can get a hurricane could get a hurricane-spawned tornado. Some states, notably in the far northwest, will rarely if ever be affected by either tropical cyclones or by tornadoes, because the weather systems there are not conducive to their formation. The state of Alaska has had only 2 confirmed tornadoes over the last 65 years and only post-tropical cyclones.
Cyclones are a broad category of storm systems that include hurricanes and typhoons and occur at all times of storm. Hurricanes and typhoons are essentially the same kind of storm only caller hurricanes in the north Atlantic and northeast Pacific and are called typhoons in the northwest Pacific Ocean. North Atlantic hurricanes mostly occur in June-November. Northeast Pacific hurricanes mostly occur May-November. Typhoons typically occur April-January. Tornadoes are most common in the months of April-June
