For the most part hurricanes happen everywhere except the South Atlantic and the greater Western Hemisphere of the South Pacific. The reason why is pretty straight forward: the water in those places is pretty cold.
Only one hurricane force storm has ever [for as long as we've been keeping track] occurred in the South Atlantic: Hurricane "Catarina" in 2004.
Hurricane Seasons:
Most Americans know when hurricanes form: summer and fall. That's about when it is for the whole of the Northern Hemisphere.
