Has a hurricane occurred on the west coast if not why?
No actual hurricanes have hit the U.S. west coast, though hurricane remnants have. This is because of cold ocean currents in the region. Hurricanes require warm water to maintain their strength and will degenerate over cold water.
Why do you have hurricanes during the summer?
North Atlantic Hurricanes have occurred in every month of the year. However, most have occurred in September because that is when the water is the warmest. Hurricanes are driven by heat. When the surface air is warm enough and there is plenty of water vapor, then conditions exist to produce a hurricane. The water vapor is sucked up into the clouds where it turns to rain and produces the heat to drive the storm. The turning of the earth produces a coriolis force which makes the storm start to spin. Without the high temperature water creating a lot of water vapor fewer storms of the right size are produced which can turn into hurricanes. Something can happen at any time that can put a whole lot of water vapor and rain in a particular place at any time. Still two hurricanes in February in 500 years is not very many.
