Cyclones (which are always low pressure weather systems) spin in a clockwise direction in the southern hemsiphere and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere (as viewed from space).
Anticyclone refers to a system rotating on the reverse direction so: anti-clockwise direction in the southern hemsiphere and clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
The word typhoon is sometimes used to refer to a cyclone that forms in the Pacific northwest, and the word hurricane to a cyclone that forms in the Atlantic or east Pacific.
What else can I help you with?
Are tsunamis also called cyclones?
No. Tsunamis are not related to cyclones in any way. However a typhoon is a type of cyclone.
Which way do cyclones and tornadoes blow in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, cyclones and tornadoes rotate counterclockwise.
Do tropical cyclones move clock-wise or anti clock-wise?
Tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise (anti-clockwise) due to the Coriolis effect. In the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. This rotation is a result of the Earth's rotation and the way air flows around areas of low pressure.
Do cyclones go in reverse?
Cyclones only turn in one direction, and do not change mid-cyclone. In the southern hemisphere, cyclones rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, cyclones (known as hurricanes or typhoons, depending on their location) rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
What is meant by a family of cyclones?
"More than one tornado at a time." The term "family" of cyclones does not necessarily have to deal with tornadoes. The meteorological term has to do with mid-latitude cyclones. Basically meaning a particular number wave cyclones (low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere) that move in succession. Example: During the winter (in the Northern Hemisphere), when you get cold front after cold front. This is referred to as a "family" of cyclones.
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.
Are tsunamis also called cyclones?
No. Tsunamis are not related to cyclones in any way. However a typhoon is a type of cyclone.
Which way do cyclones and tornadoes blow in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, cyclones and tornadoes rotate counterclockwise.

What are cyclones called in Europe?
Cyclones in Europe are known as cyclones. They are not called hurricanes - this is a term generally reserved for cyclones in the Americas.
How do cyclones move?
Cyclones move due to a combination of the Earth's rotation, atmospheric pressure differences, and steering flow from surrounding weather systems. The Coriolis effect causes cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere to veer to the right while those in the Southern Hemisphere veer to the left, resulting in their characteristic spiral movement. Additionally, cyclones can be influenced by high and low-pressure systems, jet streams, and other weather phenomena as they travel across the globe.
Does a cyclone move in a counterclockwise motion?
In the Northern Hemisphere, yes. In the Southern Hemisphere, no.
Are there any cyclones in Japan?
Yes, Japan does have cyclones. The term for cyclones in this area of the world is typhoons.
