You record the sea temperature at 12N 45W to be 27.5C the humidity to be very high, and a very light breeze do you expect a hurricane to form in these conditions explain why or why not?

Latitude 12 N, Longitude 45 W is in the North Atlantic Ocean. This is the region where tropical cyclones (hurricanes) can start. Hurricanes are large tropical storms with heavy winds. They form only over warm ocean waters near the Equator.

There are 6 main requirements for formation of a hurricane:

- warm sea surface temperature,

- atmospheric instability,

- high humidity in the lower to middle level of the troposphere,

- enough Coriolis force to develop a low pressure center,

- a preexisting low level focus or disturbance,

- low vertical wind sheer.

Answer:

Those are favorable conditions for a hurricane but you also need other factors.
