In one sense, a hurricane can be the opposite of itself, in the form of a tropical cyclone.
- The reason being that a cyclone occurs south of the equator, while a hurricane occurs north of the equator. Because they are on opposite sides of the equator, they spin in different directions. However, they are fundamentally the same thing, "Tropical Revolving Storms", or TRS for short.
The opposite in terms of atmospheric phenomena would be a strong high-pressure system, which has greater than normal pressure while the hurricane has a much lower central pressure. Like the cyclones of the Southern Hemisphere, the northern continental "highs" rotate clockwise, and they move generally east and south (away from the north pole) while hurricanes generally move west and north in the Atlantic and northern Pacific.
