Why does water go down the drain one way?
Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with the latitude or the Coriolis effect. Toilets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them. The Coriolis effect is the reason why hurricanes rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. But you need a very large amount of moving air and water for it to take effect.

Why does water swirl in a clockwise direction when going down a drain?
The direction in which water swirls down a drain is determined by the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, water tends to swirl clockwise due to this effect, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it swirls counterclockwise. However, the Coriolis effect is very weak on small scales, so factors such as the shape of the drain and the way the water enters it can also influence the direction of the swirl.
