Maritime Equatorial Air Mass (mE) originate over warm sea water. Maritime Tropical (mT) also originates over the warm sea waters.
It is never warm enough for rain, and usually too cold to generate snow.
It's the part of the earth that receives the most direct radiation from the sun.
No they are not all the same temperature but it is warm.
Alaska doesn't have hurricanes. Hurricanes occur in warm tropical water and Alaska is not located at or below the equator where the tropics are found.
Warm Water Current
if a current originates near the poles and flows towards the equator, it will be colder than all the water it meets. Hence it will be a cold current. ...conversely, if it originates near the equator and flows towards the pole, it will be warmer than the water it meets and be a warm current. In a Short Summary Cold Ocean Currents Originate From The Poles And Warm Ocean Currents Originate From The Equator
Warm and humid
They are warm because the states are near to the equator and the equator is near to the sun.
the equator warm and humid
It goes from a cool current to a warm current as it gets closer to the equator.

near the equator
Assuming the weather is the same in a place near the equator and far from the equator, the temperature at the place closer to the equator will generally be warmer.
It is hotter near the equator and cooler near the poles. It is this difference between warm and cold currents that cause the ocean currents - helped slightly by the rotation of the earth - to flow across the oceans of the world.
near the equator
in warm climates (warm places) near the equator.
