Best Answer

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.

Do Hurricans form over warm ocean water?

Indeed they do, and only warm ocean water. That is what hurricanes live on is the warmth of the ocean, which is why when they travel over land, they start to get weaker. The ocean is the warmest during hurricane season, for the Atlantic, hurricane season is June 1st - November 30th, hurricanes are also called cyclones in the Atlantic. For the Pacific, hurricanes are also called typhoons, and the hurricane season runs from May 15th - November 30th. Pacific starts about 1/2 a month earlier than the Atlantic.

Where and when do hurricanes occur?

hurricanes can only happen if the water is 70 meters deep and 29 degrees Celsius and there is a low pressure on the water. so hurricanes only happen in warm places like the USA and tropical islands and will probably never happen in places like Britain but usually after hurricane season in the USA the "leftovers" of a hurricane will come to Britain around September time which include high speed winds, heavy rain and storms.

Hurricanes are most common in the summer, but they have formed in all four season. They mainly form, in the summer, though, because that is when the oceans are warmest, and warm ocean water is a key ingredient in hurricane formation.
