Well Hurricanes only form over warm waters 80 degrees or warmer, but yes the can start in the Atlantic more recent ones have started in the Atlantic. They also can't form over the equator cause they need the Coriolis Force to create the spin and it gets weak if its near the equator. The Atlantic hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30, but most hurricanes occur during the fall months.
