In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects moving objects to the right, whereas in the Southern Hemisphere, it deflects objects to the left. This results in clockwise rotation of currents and storms in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis force is strongest at the poles and weakest at the equator in both hemispheres.
