    Apparently,

    Because of things like Coriolis effect and convective currents, there just aren’t winds that blow across the equator, not at the scale that would blow a hurricane from one hemisphere to the other anyway.

    Winds tend to blow along and away from the equator, not across it.

      It’s the same (but even more dramatic) with Jupiter.
