Where latitudes do most tropical cyclones form?

Most tropical cyclones form between latitudes 5° and 30° in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This region is known as the tropics, where warm sea surface temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions, such as low vertical wind shear, create an ideal environment for cyclone development. The majority of these storms occur over warm ocean waters, typically during the late summer and early fall months when sea temperatures are at their highest.
