What does a hurricane need to strengthen?
For a Hurricane to strengthen it needs tropical,warm water!
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.
Why are tornadoes and hurricanes rare in Oregon?
There is a cold ocean current off the coast of Oregon that tends to stabilize the atmosphere. Tornadoes need strong thunderstorms to form. Such storms form best when there is a layer of warm, moist, unstable air in the lower atmosphere. The cold water makes it difficult for such a pattern to arise. Hurricanes have a similar need, only, much greater. The amount of moisture that a hurricane needs can only be found over very warm ocean water. Any hurricane heading in the direction of Oregon would quickly degenerate over the cold water, making it virtually impossible for the state to get a hurricane.

wind and the sun
What makes hurricane photos different than tornado photos?
You can photograph a whole tornado form a camera on the ground. To photograph a whole hurricane you need to have your camera located in space.
Why does a hurricane need hot moisture?
Warm, moist air holds large amounts of energy in the form of latent heat. This energy is released when the moisture condenses into clouds and precipitation. This is what powers a hurricane.

You record the sea temperature to be 28C the humidity to be very high and a very light breeze. Do you expect a hurricane to form in these conditions Please Explain why or why not.?
No, a hurricane would not form in those conditions. There is not enough breeze to do so, but all of the other factors are favorable for a hurricane to form. The sea temperature has to be about 26oC and the sea temperature is 28oC. Also, the air has to be moist because hurricanes produce lots of precipitation, and it says that the humidity is very high. But, you would also need to know where the location is because a hurricane forms between 8o and 20o of the Equator.
