They're steered by upper level winds in the atmosphere (approx. 8-16 km above the earth's surface). Weaker (and shallower) storms may be steered by lower winds than stronger (deeper) storms.
There are a lot of other factors that affect the direction a storm will take, but to answer your question, it's wind, not ocean currents.

They are mostly steered by their environmental flow.
Check out section 1.1 of this link. No mention of ocean currents in there.

I think ocean current.

properly, heat currents deliver heat temperatures to the poles, and chilly currents deliver chilly temperatures to the equator to grow to be heat back, and then return to the poles, this technique repeats, some currents repeat consistently, because of the fact maximum currents are around.
