Why do hurricanes change at 30 north latitude?
While they are over the Atlantic near the equator, hurricanes are pushed toward the U.S. by trade winds. Once the storm rises up toward 25 or 30 degrees latitude (the top of Florida is at latitude 30 degrees), the trade winds are no longer a factor, and local weather over the United States has a big influence.
