Storms in the Northern Hemisphere rotate clockwise, while storms in the Southern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.
Storms in the Northern Hemisphere typically rotate clockwise due to the Coriolis effect arising from the Earth’s rotation.
The reason behind this phenomenon is the rotation of the Earth, where the equatorial region moves faster than the poles, creating the Coriolis effect. This effect causes water and air to curve as they move toward the North or South.
In the Northern Hemisphere, air moving toward the North will deflect to the East, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it will deflect to the West.
When a storm begins to form, the inflow of air toward the center, combined with the Coriolis effect, causes the winds to spiral counterclockwise.
