Hurricanes occur near the equator where the water is warm. Warm water acts as their energy source. They also require a large enough basin to form and certain wind patterns that can initiate them. Most hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean (north of the equator), in the Indian Ocean, and in the Pacific Ocean. One notable place they donât occur is in the Atlantic Ocean south of the equator, even though it is warm there.
Hurricanes are not just restricted to the North Atlantic and Eastern Pacific, but also occur in other parts of the world where they are either called typhoons (Western Pacific Ocean) or tropical cyclones (Indian Ocean, South Pacific, or South Atlantic Ocean).he time of the year when hurricanes occur in a particular region is considered the 'hurricane season' for that region.
