Tropical cyclones are primarily found in warm ocean waters near the equator, typically between 5° and 20° latitude in both hemispheres. They form over the Atlantic Ocean, the northeastern and northwestern Pacific Oceans, the Indian ocean, and the South Pacific. These storms require warm sea surface temperatures and specific atmospheric conditions to develop and strengthen.
