Hurricanes most often form over warm water with an upper atmosphere consisting of moist high pressure and high winds. They are driven by their rotational forces and high altitude winds. Thus, they are most likely to form in the western Pacific Ocean, then the western Atlantic Ocean, and then the Indian ocean, east of India. The South Atlantic for the most part is a cold ocean. Conditions are seldom right in that location for hurricanes to form.

Why do hurricanes happen more in some countries than others?
Various climatic factors contribute. Factors include seas-surfaces temperatures, wind shear, and large scale wind currents. Hurricanes require warm ocean water and little to no wind shear in order to develop. Because of this hurricanes don't usually stray far from the tropics. Large scale wind currents, which control how hurricanes move, also play a role. These storms usually move westward, making them fairly rare on the west sides of continents.
How many hurricanes happen a year?
