  2. What causes a Hurricane? • The two essential ingredients in every hurricane are warm water and moist warm air. That’s why hurricanes begin in tropical areas. Most Atlantic hurricanes start to take shape when thunderstorms along the west coast of Africa drift out over warm ocean waters that are at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius), where they encounter converging winds from around the equator. exploreislandsnow.com
