Why Hurricanes Don't Cross The Equator

Hurricanes are forbidden to cross the equator. This is a historical map of all the recorded storms, which shows that it is nearly impossible for hurricanes and cyclones to form within a few degrees of the equator and to cross it. This is due to the Coriolis Effect. Hurricanes rotate due to Earth's spin and they rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. For storms to cross the equator, they will need to change their direction, which weakens them and they can't cross the equator. It is also interesting to see that South America and Africa are largely saved from sea storms. Cyclones rarely form in the South Atlantic Ocean due to cooler water temperatures. In Fact, Cyclone Catarina in 2004 was the only recorded hurricane-strength storm in the South Atlantic. On the other hand, Filipinos eat Typhoons for breakfast. Singapore and Malaysia are also largely saved.
