CYCLONIC AND ANTICYCLONIC SPIN

METEOROLOGIST JEFF HABY

Cyclonically means spinning like low pressure and anticyclonically means spinning like high pressure. All low pressure systems and tropical storms/hurricanes spin cyclonically. Cyclonic is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in Southern Hemisphere. Anticyclonic is a high pressure or ridge circulation in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.
