Cyclones spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Cyclones in Australia most commonly impact the northern regions of the country, particularly the northern coast of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland. These areas are more prone to cyclones due to their proximity to warm ocean waters that provide the energy needed for cyclone formation.
The Northern Territory (and some of the Northern tip of Western Australia).
Cyclones in Australia are most common in the northwest region, specifically off the coast of Western Australia and the Northern Territory. They are less common in the southeast. The season typically runs from November to April, with the peak occurring in February.
Anticyclones in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Darwin is the capital City of the Northern Territory, Australia. The Northern Territory is actually a territory rather than a state.
'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. These tropical storms are called 'cyclones' in the Southern Hemisphere, and they rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise, so are sometimes called "anti-cyclones".
The Northern Territory is a territory, not a state, in Australia. Positioned in the central northern area, it is bordered by Western Australia to the west, Queensland to the east, and South Australia to the south.

Cyclones need sea temperatures of 26.5 degrees Celsius or higher to form. These conditions are present in the waters off northern Australia, but not in the south.
