Does weather move from west to east in the southern hemisphere?

∙ 12y ago
Weather generally in Southern Hemisphere moves from the west to the east. eg. Weather in Perth AU arrives in Adelaide AU 2 days later and in Sydney AU 5 days later.
There are different circumstances if there is an offshore low or Cyclone off the East coast where sometimes it will move East to West but only until landfall where it dissipates after hitting the Great Dividing Range.
