What causes hurricanes? Hurricanes are intense low pressure areas that form over warm ocean waters in the summer and early fall. Their source of energy is water vapor which is evaporated from the ocean surface. Hurricane intensity is based upon the highest sustained (1 minute average) wind speed the hurricane is producing. The Saffir-Simpson scale rates hurricane strength in this way from Category 1 to Category 5. These categories were chosen based upon the amount of damage that each category can produce.
