Best Answer

Various climatic factors contribute. Factors include seas-surfaces temperatures, wind shear, and large scale wind currents. Hurricanes require warm ocean water and little to no wind shear in order to develop. Because of this hurricanes don't usually stray far from the tropics. Large scale wind currents, which control how hurricanes move, also play a role. These storms usually move westward, making them fairly rare on the west sides of continents.
