Question

Why does hurricane season occur from late spring through fall in the Atlantic region?

To form, hurricanes need warm ocean waters.

To form, hurricanes need the high air temperatures to form.

Hurricanes result from thunderstorms, which only form in the summer.

Hurricane season always comes after tornado season, which takes place in the summer

Answer 1

it is convection current thermodynamic heat sink response

Answer 2

It takes longer for the water in the ocean to cool. So even in the fall ocean temperatures are still efficient enough to give enough energy to a hurricane.

Answer 3

And hurricanes do not form from thunderstorms, they produce them. Also, the air temperature has nothing to do with hurricane formation. A hurricane needs weak wind shear, high ocean temperatures, and enough centrical force to get the spinning of the system to occur.
