Yes. Cyclones in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere spin clockwise.
What else can I help you with?
Has there been a hurricane that spin clockwise in the pacific?
Tropical cyclones that occur south of the equator spin clockwise, but they are not called hurricanes in the southern hemisphere.
Do break dancers that spin on their heads spin in the opposite direction when they are south of the Equator?
No, break dancers spinning on their heads do not change direction when they are south of the Equator. The direction of their spin is determined by their personal preference and technique, not their location relative to the Equator.
What kind of area does cyclone winds begin to spin?
Cyclone winds begin to spin in warm ocean waters near the equator. This is where the conditions are favorable for the formation and strengthening of cyclones.
Is there a such thing as an anticyclone?
Yes, an anticyclone is a high-pressure weather system associated with calm, clear weather. Anticyclones spin in the opposite direction of cyclones.
Is it possible for typhoon to cross the equator and continue as typhoon or does the equator change the effect of the storm?
A tropical cyclone, (i.e. a hurricane or typhoon) could not cross the equator. All cyclones depend on the Coriolis force in order to spin. The Coriolis force is greatest at the poles and nonexistent at the equator. A tropical cyclone that approaches the equator would likely degenerate into a disorganized cluster of thunderstorms. Such an event would be unusual in any case as the general wind pattern tends to steer tropical cyclones away from the equator rather than toward it.
What is the phenomenon that causes cyclones to spin counterclockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator?
it just does... google it if ur curious
What directions do tornadoes spin below the equator?
South of the equator most tornadoes spin clockwise.

Why tropical cyclone is not happening at the equator?
The rotation of a large-scale weather system depends on the Coriolis effect, in which moving air is deflected relative to earth's surface. This effect is strongest near the poles and diminishes to zero at the equator. Since this effect is weak at the lowest latitudes, tropical storms generally cannot organize within 5 degrees of the equator.
Which way does the toilet flush in Australia?
Actually, they don't. The direction of motion is caused by the Coriolis effect. This effect is the basis of the Foucault pendulum demonstration and also causes the counterclockwise rotation of cyclones in the northern hemisphere. However, this effect in a basin or toilet is so weak that most of the time the direction of spin of draining water is the sum of other effects.
Which way do cyclones and tornadoes blow in the northern hemisphere?
Cyclones spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Do hurricane's violent winds spin counterclockwise around the center or eye?
North of the equator, yes. South of the equator, they spin clockwise. Wind direction is affected by the spin of the Earth.
What is the opposite of a hurricane?
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.
