Hurricanes occur in the North Atlantic and East Pacific Ocean where ever water is warm enough (generally around 80 degrees) and a few degrees north of the equator. Cyclones and typhoons are found farther west in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, though they are exactly the same type of storm.

In what layer of the atmosphere do tornadoes and hurricanes occur?

Tornadoes occur in the lower atmosphere, specifically in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather events typically occur. Hurricanes occur slightly higher up in the troposphere, usually in the lower part of the troposphere where the conditions are conducive for their formation.


Why do you only have hurricanes during hurricane season?

Hurricanes can occur outside of the official hurricane season, but it is rare. Hurricanes need warm ocean water in order to form and in most cases the water is not warm enough outside of hurricane season to support the formation of hurricanes. About 3% of hurricanes and tropical storms occur out of season.
