There's a very good correlation between the seasons and hurricanes
with a peak around September 10 for the Atlantic hurricane season, I
haven't specifically checked, but I suppose that's probably pretty
close to the time with the highest SST's.
I don't know as much about the relationship between latitude and
hurricanes, except that they require a minimum SST of about 26C and
therefore never strike England or Oregon. However, it makes sense that
all else equal, the distribution for the seasons should roughly hold
for latitude as well (ie I suspect some locations will only experience
hurricanes around September 10 for example, because they are too far
from the equator to get struck in October or June).
