Why Hurricanes Peak in Summer and Autumn
The article explains that hurricanes form when warm ocean water and a warm lower atmosphere combine with rotational forces in the waves. Ocean surface temps rise after the sun's peak in late June, warming over weeks, so hurricane season lengthens into November. Check regional weather reports for current storms.
