If you mean hemisphere, they occur in both. Tropical Cyclones spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern. The North Hemisphere is generally more active and produces more intense storms than the southern though.

What month do hurricanes frequently occur in the northern hemisphere?
when is the month for hurricane to occur in the northern hemisphere?
Why don't hurricanes or tornadoes enter the southern hemisphere?
They do, but most tornadoes don't make international news and generally, the strongest tornadoes that do most of the serious damage occur in the U.S. Hurricanes occur in the southern hemisphere, but are called cyclones or tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.
Are there earthquakes tornadoes or hurricanes in Australia?
Yes to all three. Note, though that the storms that we call hurricanes are only called hurricanes in the Atlantic and parts of the Pacific in the northern hemisphere. When they occur around Australia they are called cyclones.
Does New Zealand have hurricanes?
New Zealand has cyclones rather than hurricanes. They do not generally occur very frequently. The term used for a storm with very strong winds varies depending on where it occurs. Hurricanes only occur in the Northern Hemisphere, but in the Southern Hemisphere it is known as Cyclones, which is basically the same, but spins in the opposite direction. They are just as deadly and damaging, take the one that happened in the Philippines for example.
Has there been a hurricane that spin clockwise in the pacific?
Tropical cyclones that occur south of the equator spin clockwise, but they are not called hurricanes in the southern hemisphere.

In the southern hemisphere hurricanes rotate?
Hurricanes spin clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Hurricanes in the Northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. Hurricanes in the Southern hemisphere are called cyclones.

Does a hurricane spin clockwise?
It is a hurricane that forms under the equater. In the northern hemisphere hurricanes turn counter-clockwise. They are called Typhoons in the southern hemisphere and recently a Hurricane was seen to cross the equator which is very worrying for our future climate.
Is the sense hurricanes of the swirl different in the Southern Hemisphere?
Yes, hurricanes and other cyclones in the Northern hemisphere swirl counterclockwise while in the southern hemisphere they swirl clockwise.
Does the direction of the hurricanes depend on the hemisphere where the hurrianes occur?
The direction that they rotate does. Storm systems in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while ones in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Tropical systems in both hemispheres tend to travel westward.
Where do hurricanes normally occur?
Hurricanes can hit at any time of the year, however they are most common during hurricane or typhoon season, which for much of the Northern Hemisphere runs from June to November, and for much of the Southern Hemisphere runs from December to May.
How do hurricanes rotate in the southern hemisphere?
Hurricanes, as well as all the milder low-pressure systems, rotate clockwise (to the right) in the southern hemisphere.
How many hurricanes in the northern hemisphere?
