Which way does wind blow in the northern hemisphere?
Kirti
Winds in a cyclone blow anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
Explanation:
This is due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth’s rotation. Wind systems twist counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis phenomenon.
