Why do tropical cyclones move in a westward direction?
Tropical cyclones move in a westerly direction due to the trade winds blowing from east to west in the tropics. The Coriolis effect also influences the cyclone's direction, causing it to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. These combined effects result in the overall westward movement of tropical cyclones.

Additionally, while there are usually no more than a dozen named tropical cyclones in a year, Over 1,000 tornadoes hit the U.S. each year, far to many to be named.
