Question

You record the sea temperature at 12?N 45?W to be 27.5?C, 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?

Answer 1

By those conditions alone, no. While those are favorable conditions at the surface, other factors need to be conducive as well, including favorable winds through the depth of the atmosphere, upper level high pressure and a surface low to focus convection.
