Well duh! That’s because the big black line you see on all the maps keeps the storms from crossing over
Note to self: To avoid hurricanes, move to the equator.
Or to Germany
For anyone else wondering about that single path near the southern part of Brazil: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Catarina
They could add 2 more if they updated the map into this year.
What 2? According to the wiki this is still the only one on record.
We had two cyclones in the last two/three months.
Do you realize what this means? We can stop hurricanes dead in their tracks by moving the equator around.
The equator is an imaginary line, and therefore has zero mass. By wobbling the rotational polarity of the planet’s rotational wobbling we can probably just cut the hurricanes in half.
Anybody have an ELI5?
I believe it’s because currents of air rotate in the opposite direction. So to cross the equator the air would have to pass a boundary of global air currents which are going counter to the hurricane’s motion. See this picture for a reference.
I knew it. Hurricanes are magnetic.
Trump should’ve bombed Hurrican Dorian with ICP instead.
It’s like a reverse Grand line
Thats because when they come south of the equator they become cyclones
whoa
