Hurricanes are not seen only in the summer months. Atlantic hurricanes have formed in every month except February. They are most common from August through October because the water is warmer then.

The water is warmer in the Summer.

So if the water is warmer thats what forms the hurricane?

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are called "hurricanes." Whatever they are called, tropical cyclones all form the same way. Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator
