Why can't hurricanes form in the mid-latitudes?
What will be the ideal response?
ANSWER: Hurricanes form over tropical waters where the winds are light, the humidity is high in a deep layer extending up through the troposphere, and the surface water temperature is warm, typically 26.5 degrees Celsius (80 degrees Fahrenheit) or greater, over a vast area. These conditions usually prevail over the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific oceans during the summer and early fall. Conditions like these do not exist in the mid-latitudes.?
