In which direction do hurricanes spin?

Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones in certain parts of the world, spin in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in a clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect plays a significant role in determining the direction of the spin, as it causes moving air and fluids to turn and twist in a predictable manner based on the Earth's rotation.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the low-pressure system at the center of a hurricane draws surrounding air inward and upward, creating a counterclockwise rotation as the winds converge towards the center. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, the rotation of the Earth causes winds to spiral inward in a clockwise direction. Therefore, when referring specifically to hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere, they indeed spin counterclockwise, validating the choice provided.
