It depends on the kind of storm and where it occurs. Many storms such as dust storms and most thunderstorms do not rotate at all. When storms do rotate, those in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
A small percentage of tornadoes and supercell thunderstorms, though, go opposite to this.
A number of storms in the northern hemisphere have such characteristics including tropical cyclones (hurricanes an typhoons), some extratropical cyclones, and most tornadoes (on rare occasions they are anticyclonic).
Hurricanes are in a class of storm called tropical cyclones. Such storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. In a strict sense, the term hurricane is only applied to tropical cyclones in parts of the northern hemisphere, so they do rotate counterclockwise.
Positive rotations typically go counterclockwise.
No. Most thunderstorms do not rotate, nor do they necessarily produce strong winds. A thunderstorm with strong rotation is called a supercell. A supercell in the northern hemisphere will rotate counterclockwise, but one in the southern hemisphere will rotate clockwise. The same is true of all cyclonic storms.
Eris rotates counterclockwise on its axis.
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.

In the northern hemisphere, tropical storms rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect, while in the southern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. Additionally, tropical storms in the northern hemisphere typically occur between June and November, while in the southern hemisphere, they occur between November and April. The naming conventions for tropical storms also differ between the two hemispheres.

Fort the most part that is limited to tornadoes in the northern hemisphere. Nearly all southern hemisphere tornadoes rotate clockwise. Tornadoes are formed from thunderstorms called supercells, and get their counterclockwise rotation from the rotation in those storms. The storms get their rotation from wind shear, or differences in wind speed and direction with altitude. In the northern hemisphere the wind shear is usually counterclockwise with increasing altitude. For example the wind at ground level may be out of the west while higher up it is out of the south, so it shifts in a counterclockwise manner. This can impart a counterclockwise spin on the updraft, or rising air current of a thunderstorm.
A cyclone, or cyclonic storm. These are low pressure systems that include tropical storms and hurricanes.
Hurricanes are in a class of storm called tropical cyclones. Such storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. In a strict sense, the term hurricane is only applied to tropical cyclones in parts of the northern hemisphere, so they do rotate counterclockwise.
