The Formation of HurricanesFirst , Hurricanes start off as weak tropical cyclones that surface in warm waters that are approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Secondly, when the storm gains over thirty-eight miles per hour, the storms becomes a tropical
depression

When speeds excel over thirty-nine miles per hour, it becomes a tropical storm.

Tropical, large swirling storms with wind speeds of greater than 74 miles per hour are hurricanes.
