Western-boundary currents, such as the Gulf Stream and the East Australian Current, carry tropical water and are preferred for targeting pelagics. The ephemeral nature of the famed canyons fishery off ...

With weather patterns, the Coriolis effect influences the direction of winds and helps form hurricanes, low-pressure systems, and even jet streams. It even impacts the direction of ocean currents ...

The tropical cyclone season in this region of the Southern Hemisphere typically runs from late October through May. Despite its immense power, Cyclone Errol is currently a relatively small storm.

A strong storm churning off the coast of Australia is becoming the strongest tropical cyclone of 2025 and the first Category 5 storm of the year. Cyclone Errol has intensified, with its central ...

This is because there is no Coriolis effect at the equator, meaning patches of stormy weather don't tend to "spin up" into a hurricane. "The closest recorded formation was about 100 miles away ...

Once the storm’s winds exceed 74 mph, it’s officially a tropical cyclone. But why do hurricanes rotate? That’s due to something called the Coriolis effect.

As air is sucked into the low-pressure center of the storm, momentum builds; the vortex tightens, and wind speeds increase. The Coriolis effect shapes those winds into a spiral, creating a ...

The Coriolis effect, caused by Earth's rotation, has surprising effects on weather patterns and water currents. Learn more about this fascinating force and its impact on our planet.

Many Reddit users pointed out that the phenomenon was due to an atmospheric force called the Coriolis effect. In short, the rotation of the Earth influences winds and surface ocean currents.

Tropical Storm Ernesto won't make landfall, but it's going to have an impact on Delaware. Here's what you need to know.
