Yes. Hurricanes rotate.
In the Northern Hemisphere, hurricanes and tornadoes typically rotate counterclockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.

Hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. As warm, moist air rises and creates low pressure at the center, surrounding air moves in to fill the void, resulting in the counterclockwise motion. In contrast, hurricanes in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Hurricanes, as well as all the milder low-pressure systems, rotate clockwise (to the right) in the southern hemisphere.
clockwise
Yes, hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, while hurricanes in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise due to the Coriolis effect. This effect is caused by the Earth's rotation and influences the direction of movement of large-scale systems like hurricanes.

The term hurricane applies to a cyclonic storm in the northern hemisphere where they rotate counterclockwise. However, the same type of storm does occur in the southern hemisphere, though there they are called cyclones or severe tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes. Cyclones rotate clockwise. That depends on which side of the equator you are.Related Information:The rotation of hurricanes and typhoons is caused by the coriolis effect, which is driven by Earth's spin.
No, but they do in the southern one.

Hurricanes are in some ways like mid-latitude cyclones or lows. Hurricanes rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, while mid latitudes rotate clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
Yes. By definition a hurricane must rotate, however, they rotate in opposite directions. Storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
