A cyclone is a low pressure system in which the wind overall travels inwards and upwards. These systems rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. They typically bring stormy weather.

An anticyclone is a high pressure system in which the wind generally travels downwards and outwards. These systems rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. They typically bring clear weather.
