Video: Why do storms rotate counterclockwise?

The storms in the Northern Hemisphere rotate clockwise, while the storms in the Southern Hemisphere are reversed.

Storms in the Northern Hemisphere often rotate people clockwise because the Coriolis effect arises when the Earth turns.

The reason is that when the Earth turns, the equatorial region moves faster at the poles causing the Coriolis effect to cause water and air to be bent when moving north or south.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the air moves north, which will shift to the east. And to the south, it will deviate to the west.

When the storm begins to form, the air flows inwards, the Coriolis effect will break them in an anticlockwise direction.
