= Anticyclonic tornado
{wiki=Anticyclonic_tornado}
An anticyclonic tornado is a type of tornado that rotates in the opposite direction to most tornadoes. In the Northern Hemisphere, most tornadoes are cyclonic, meaning they rotate counterclockwise. Anticyclonic tornadoes, on the other hand, rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. These tornadoes are typically much less common than their cyclonic counterparts and often form in different meteorological conditions.
