Hurricanes gain strength from warm ocean waters, typically when sea surface temperatures are at least 26.5 degrees Celsius (about 80 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher. This warm water provides the necessary heat and moisture to fuel the storm, allowing it to generate powerful winds and rain. Additionally, low vertical wind shear helps maintain the storm’s structure and allows it to intensify. Atmospheric conditions, such as low pressure and sufficient humidity, also contribute to a hurricane's growth.
