Hurricanes typically form in tropical regions, usually between about 5 to 20 degrees latitude north and south of the equator. They require warm ocean waters and favorable atmospheric conditions to develop. However, they do not form directly at the equator due to the lack of the Coriolis effect, which is necessary for the rotation of the storm. Thus, while they form relatively close to the equator, they do not originate right at it.
