Cyclones and Anticyclones
In meteorology, the term ‘cyclone’ can be defined as the rapid inward circulation of air masses around a low-pressure centre which is circling counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. Cyclonic rotation is associated with low-pressure systems, so that cyclone and low can be used interchangeably.
