Generation

Hurricanes form over warm tropical oceans (at least 26.5°C or 80°F) when moist air rises and creates a low-pressure center. As air spirals inward due to the Coriolis effect, it rises rapidly, releases latent heat from condensing water vapor, and intensifies the storm. The energy released by condensation (Q = mL, where Q is heat energy, m is mass of water, and L is latent heat of vaporization) powers the hurricane's circulation. Wind speeds must reach at least 74 mph (119 km/h) for the system to be classified as a hurricane.
