The threat of hurricanes is very real for Florida during the six-month long Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 until November 30. The peak of hurricane season occurs between mid-August and late October, when the waters in the equatorial Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico have warmed enough to help support the development of tropical waves.
Why don't hurricanes form at the equator? - Live Science

But why aren't there hurricanes at the equator? The reason is linked to why tropical cyclones rotate, which is due to Earth's spin. At the equator, even when the air is calm, the planet and the ...

The hurricane's winds blow against the water, creating waves. As the waves grow taller, they develop more area for the wind to press against, which in turn makes the waves even larger, Storlazzi ...

Category 5: Andrew (1992) Satellite image of Hurricane Andrew with a very tightly formed eye. (Image credit: NOAA) Andrew was the only major hurricane in the otherwise inactive 1992 hurricane ...

Hurricanes are graded on the Saffir-Simpson scale, which ranges from Category 1 (starting at sustained winds of 74 mph, or 119 km/hour winds) to a Category 5 (starting at sustained winds of 157 ...

Hurricanes occur in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, eastern North Pacific Ocean and, occasionally, central North Pacific Ocean, according to NOAA. Tropical cyclones in other ...
Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones: Earth's tropical windstorms
18 Nov 2024 at 9:19am
Hurricanes and typhoons ? or more broadly, tropical cyclones ? begin as clusters of thunderstorms over tropical ocean waters, taking anywhere from several hours to days to become organized.
How Do Hurricanes Spawn Tornadoes? - Live Science
14 Nov 2024 at 6:46am
Hurricanes are much, much larger than tornadoes (Irma's innards stretch some 400 miles, or TK kilometers, across), but tornadoes can generate much faster winds than hurricanes.
Hurricanes really are getting stronger, just like climate models ...

Normally, hurricanes are defined as storms with winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h). Winds of that speed emerge around the 65-knot mark. And the odds of major hurricanes (100-knot storms) have ...
