Now, for the places that don’t get hurricanes. You’ll never see a hurricane in Europe. The water is too cold, and the wind shear (that’s like a big fan blowing the storm apart) is too strong. Sorry, London, you don’t get to join the hurricane party.
Same for the South Atlantic. It’s the only ocean basin that almost never sees a hurricane. The water is chilly, and the wind patterns just say “nope.” Brazil has had exactly one landfalling hurricane in recorded history. It happened in 2004, and everyone was shocked.
And the West Coast of the U.S.? California dreams of hurricane rain but never gets the real deal. The Pacific water there is like an ice bath. A storm would have to be desperate to survive that cold.
