Does anyone know what the reason for this is?
The earth spins faster at the equator, which is the reason for the rotation of hurricanes. They spin counter clockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of it.

Edit: The reason they don’t cross is not because of the Coriolis effect working against the original rotation direction if a hurricane crosses the equator, but rather because the storms are moving away from the equator
The equator: The place to be
Give it a few more years…
What, the Earth will stop rotating? You do realize Earth rotation is the reason hurricanes don’t cross the equator?
What? Where did I say that? Everyone knows that the equator region will become inhospitable in a few years because of the combination of high temperature and high humidity. Certainly not “the place to be”.
Are those Calm Belts without hurricanes the reason it’s so difficult to enter the Grand Line?
