Rainy season in Northern Africa has a lot of land to form storms from sand as cloud seeds. Gulf and Carribean sea are almost always hot in summer. Relatively shallow. Northern South America also has rainy season and helps form storms that go north.

South America doesn't get as much help from Africa storm formation, and south atlantic does not have a history of being very hot.
