No. Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones are rotating storms of the tropical convergence zones, north or south of the equator. They carry heat energy from the tropics toward the poles. Once moving westward, they will always be self-steered northward. Other weather systems can force them southward again, as occurred when Hurricane Ivan circled back from Baltimore to the Gulf of Mexico in 2004.
That said, smaller cyclone-like rotating disturbances can form very close to the equator, and may cross it before developing into a cyclonic storm such as a typhoon or hurricane.
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for typhoon to cross the equator and continue as typhoon or does the equator change the effect of the storm?
A tropical cyclone, (i.e. a hurricane or typhoon) could not cross the equator. All cyclones depend on the Coriolis force in order to spin. The Coriolis force is greatest at the poles and nonexistent at the equator. A tropical cyclone that approaches the equator would likely degenerate into a disorganized cluster of thunderstorms. Such an event would be unusual in any case as the general wind pattern tends to steer tropical cyclones away from the equator rather than toward it.

What line can hurricanes not cross?
Hurricanes do not typically cross the equator. Due to the Coriolis effect, hurricanes tend to spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, making it difficult for them to maintain their structure when crossing the equator.

No
What is a powerful typhoon that forms over the ocean near the equator in summer months?
That's called a Hurricane.
What is the Earth's cross section?
The Equator
Is it more humid over the ocean by the equator or over Mexico by the equator?
The ocean. The equator does not cross Mexico.
Does the Amazon river cross the equator twice?
The Amazon River does not cross the equator twice. As the second longest river in the world after the Nile, it flows into the Atlantic Ocean near the equator.
Would you cross the equator if you would travel from North America to Europe?
You would not cross the equator, as Europe is east of North America. The equator is a degree of latitude, which means you must go either north or south to cross it. Regardless, you would be traveling well above the equator.
If you traveled from North America to Australia would you cross the Equator?
no, unless you travel below Texas to Europe.
