Question 697Navigation General

The correct answer is D) January through March. Tropical storms and hurricanes are most likely to form in the Southern hemisphere during the months of January through March. This is because the Southern hemisphere experiences its summer season during these months, which is the peak time for tropical storm and hurricane formation. The warm ocean temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions during the Southern hemisphere's summer create an environment conducive for the development of these powerful weather systems. The other options are incorrect because the Southern hemisphere's winter and spring seasons (April through August) are not the prime time for tropical storm and hurricane formation in that region.
