Is this played backwards? It looks like the rain in the background is falling upwards and if it's in the U.S., that's rare that its rotating anti-cyclonically
The coriolis effect only impacts weather over longer size and time scales. Thunderstorms can rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere, although most do not.
My bad, coriolis affects vorticity, so tornadoes will would spin clockwise in Southern Hemisphere. However, tornadoes are very rare in SH. So the guy that gave me a -1 below makes me lmao.
you're right about the storms/cyclones, but i found out the clockwise drains/anticlockwise drains thing is a myth. not trying to make you look dumb or anything though :D
Its Australia, so the rotation is in the other direction

@rdtony Holy shit you go that close to a super cell did you check for forecasts if it would join with another one and make a mega tornado?!

incredible rotation with that storm - great footage. you say it produced a tornado? was this visible to yourself or was it reported later?

Actually there is alot of rotation in the clouds did it produce a tornado.

Hmm, doesn't look like much of a supercell. No real striations, no strong updraft, just some rotation which many storms inherantly have.

Welcome to the Coriolis effect.
One hemisphere (southern) has clockwise storms/cyclones/drains, the other anticlockwise storms/hurricanes/drains.

The coriolis effect only impacts weather over longer size and time scales. Thunderstorms can rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere, although most do not.

I think the rotation in tornadoes is due to vorticity, not coriolis
GadKing 3 years ago
Probably a bit of both - don't they usually spin the other way below the equator? I am totally guessing here but it's interesting to think about.

HyugaKirby 2 years ago
Cyclones in the southern hemisphere rotate counter-clockwise (iirc). It's the opposite in the northern.

no... its the other way round...
