Winds flow upwards from the eye in a cyclone, because the warm air from the sea rises. This is in addition to winds flowing in a clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere and an anti-clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere.

The wind in a cyclone flows inward and upward in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This upward flow is due to the low pressure at the center of the cyclone, which causes air to rise and create a cyclonic circulation.

Why is the sum of two positive numbers positive means why is plus plus equals plus and plus equals?

-- If you climb upward, stop and rest, then climb upward again, you always wind uphigher than where you started.-- If you climb downward, stop and rest, then climb downward again, you always wind uplower than where you started.-- It is NOT true that (a negative) added to (a positive) always equals a negative.If you climb downward some distance, stop and rest, then climb upward some distance,you could wind up either below ground or above ground. It only depends on which climbwas farther.Similarly, the sum of two numbers with different signs has the same sign as thebigger original number.
