June-November, depending on what area the hurricanes form in
Hurricanes can form in June in different regions, depending on the ocean temperatures. In the Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific, hurricanes can form near the Gulf of Mexico and off the west coast of Central America. In the western Pacific, hurricanes can form near the Philippines and in the South China Sea.
Hurricanes require warm ocean water to form. They typically occur during the late summer and early fall when ocean temperatures are highest. Outside of this period, the ocean temperatures are cooler, which makes it less favorable for hurricane formation.
Hurricanes are primarily an atmosphere event, but ocean water plays a key role in how they form.
No, hurricanes require the Earth's rotation and gravity to form. Gravity helps to create the low-pressure systems needed for hurricanes to develop, while the Earth's rotation influences their direction and spin. Without gravity, the necessary conditions for hurricanes to form would not exist.
