The middle latitudes of Earth lie between 23°26'22" and 66°33'39" north, and between 23°26'22" and 66°33'39" south. The middle latitudes are dominated by wind flows that are mainly from the west. Zonal air flow in the middle latitudes means a west east flow of air.
Answer:
The term hurricane or hurricanes refers to very strong tropical cyclones or storms that reach categories 1,2,3,4 and 5 of the Saffir Simpson scale. They are characterized by having an eye or vacuum vortex in the center where the winds rotate. These vortices are visible from great heights of the atmosphere, through satellites.
Hurricanes are formed by the accumulation of thunderstorms that travel over warm ocean waters. When the warm air of the storm and the ocean surface combine, they begin to rise in the form of eddies. This generates low pressure on the surface of the ocean. Winds that circulate in opposite directions cause the storm to begin to spin. The warm air rise causes the pressure to decrease at a higher altitude. The storm turns due to the rotation of the Earth and the energy of the hot ocean water increases the speed of the winds. This is how the storm is strengthening. To finally be considered a hurricane it has to reach 119km / hour.
In the scientific community there are some disagreements about whether climate change will cause the increase or decrease of the total number of hurricanes globally. But, as regards the impacts produced, there is no doubt: higher ocean temperatures and rising sea levels play an important role. In fact, as already mentioned, warm water is the engine that drives the hurricane process. Given climate change and rising ocean temperatures, the hotter the water, the more likely it is that the wind speed of tropical cyclones will intensify.

Thanks for the question,
Due to the latitude and and distance from the equator the temperatures drop the further in a region,i.e. the equator because of the curvature of the world. In areas nearer to the poles, daylight has a larger space of atmosphere to experience and also the sun is at a lower angle within the sky.
In case of Canada and Mexico, Mexico lies near the equator and the sunlight directly hits the surface and therefore the climate and temperature in Mexico is constant and tropical. But, when we comes to Canada the latitudes increases and the temperature decreases due to the inconstant amount of sunlight. (Please check the attached Maps below which explains the latitude-temperature and latitude-climate effects)
Hope it helps!<3
