Does a hurricane go counter clockwise?
Hurricanes are in a class of storm called tropical cyclones. Such storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.

Does the direction of the hurricane depend on the hemisphere where the hurricane occurs?
Yes, the direction of a hurricane's rotation is determined by the hemisphere it occurs in. In the Northern Hemisphere, hurricanes rotate counterclockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere they rotate clockwise due to the Coriolis effect.

Which way do hurricanes and tornadoes rotate in the Northern Hemisphere?
