Cold water is denser than warm water meaning that it moves more slowly and sinks. Therefore, the warm water currents of the oceans move faster and at the relative surface, meanwhile the cold water currents are at much deeper depths.

Cold water doesn't have as much evaporation (meaning it slows and weakens hurricanes)
