Why do hurricanes happen in Florida but not in California even Thoough they are both facing water?
Due to the way ocean currents circulate the western part of an ocean basin is generally warmer than the eastern portion. Hurricanes need warm water to form. Florida, bordering the western Atlantic Ocean, is surrounded by the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Gulf Stream. Such warm waters easily support hurricane formation.
By contrast California, on the eastern shore of the Pacific, is bordered by the Alaska Current. This cold ocean current hinders the convection that is necessary for hurricane formation.
