Your school is visiting a local bureau of the National Weather Service. A student asks a meteorologist why hurricanes do not form in the northern Atlantic Ocean. How can you expect the meteorologist to reply?

The lack of cyclone activity in the South Atlantic is temperatures of sea surface that tend to run cool air than ideal air for tropical cyclone formation even in the southern summer.
