Generation

Hurricanes form over warm tropical ocean waters (at least 80°F) when moist air rises rapidly, creating a low-pressure area beneath it. As this warm, humid air spirals upward and cools, it releases enormous amounts of energy through condensation, which powers the storm and draws in more air from surrounding areas. The Coriolis effect from Earth's rotation causes the incoming air to spin, creating the characteristic rotating structure. This cycle intensifies as long as the storm remains over warm water and away from disruptive factors like wind shear or land.
