If you mean hemisphere, they occur in both. Tropical Cyclones spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern. The North Hemisphere is generally more active and produces more intense storms than the southern though.
What else can I help you with?
What month do hurricanes frequently occur in the northern hemisphere?
Hurricanes in the northern hemisphere primarily occur during the Atlantic hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1st to November 30th. The peak of the season typically falls in August and September.
Why don't hurricanes or tornadoes enter the southern hemisphere?
They do, but most tornadoes don't make international news and generally, the strongest tornadoes that do most of the serious damage occur in the U.S. Hurricanes occur in the southern hemisphere, but are called cyclones or tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.
Are there earthquakes tornadoes or hurricanes in Australia?
Yes to all three. Note, though that the storms that we call hurricanes are only called hurricanes in the Atlantic and parts of the Pacific in the northern hemisphere. When they occur around Australia they are called cyclones.
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.
Is the sense hurricanes of the swirl different in the Southern Hemisphere?
Yes, hurricanes and other cyclones in the Northern hemisphere swirl counterclockwise while in the southern hemisphere they swirl clockwise.

Are there hurricanes in the southern hemisphere?
Yes, there are hurricanes in the southern hemisphere, but they are called cyclones or typhoons depending on the region.
Which way do hurricanes rotate?
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.
Does the southern hemisphere experience hurricanes?
Yes, the southern hemisphere does experience hurricanes, but they are called cyclones or typhoons depending on the region.
Does a hurricane spin clockwise?
It is a hurricane that forms under the equater. In the northern hemisphere hurricanes turn counter-clockwise. They are called Typhoons in the southern hemisphere and recently a Hurricane was seen to cross the equator which is very worrying for our future climate.
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.
In the southern hemisphere hurricanes rotate?
In the southern hemisphere, hurricanes are called cyclones and they rotate counterclockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes a deflection of winds to the left in the southern hemisphere. Cyclones can bring destructive winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges to coastal areas.
Is the sense hurricanes of the swirl different in the Southern Hemisphere?
Yes, hurricanes and other cyclones in the Northern hemisphere swirl counterclockwise while in the southern hemisphere they swirl clockwise.
Does the direction of the hurricanes depend on the hemisphere where the hurrianes occur?
The direction that they rotate does. Storm systems in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while ones in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Tropical systems in both hemispheres tend to travel westward.
How do hurricanes rotate in the southern hemisphere?
Hurricanes, as well as all the milder low-pressure systems, rotate clockwise (to the right) in the southern hemisphere.
