I came to Ecuador from the U.S.
One of the first things I wanted to see was if water goes down the drain counter clockwise as opposed to clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
I'd been hearing about the coriolis effect for years, but finally got to see it for myself.
Yes, it's counterclockwise here.
I'm a few hundred miles south of the equator.
A hurricane and typhoon are the same thing, its just that they rotate in different directions.
They changed the name just to mess with you and to make meteorologists sound smart.
They are dynamically all the same thing. The difference is between hurricanes/typhoones in the northern hemisphere and cyclones in the southern ones, where the Coriolis parameter is negative and so they spin the other way around.
Cyclones also hit India and a typhoon (Yagi 2024) was a weak cyclonic and deadly storm like Senyar.
In the southeast, Yagi was the most powerful storm of the year. 170mph
