Seasonal Science: Hurricane Season

An illustration of hurricane recipe. On screen text, precursor storms + warm water + low wind shear. Iconic representations for all the three are depicted. Caption: Let's start with precursor storms.

Hurricane season runs from June to November. During these months, all three requirements for hurricanes to form are present. Storms form off the coast of Africa and travel on currents of warm ocean water. Also, the wind patterns alter the location of the jet stream. Part of the "Seasonal Science" series.
