The Coriolis effect influences wind direction around the world in this way: in the Northern Hemisphere it curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves them left. The exception is with low pressure systems ... This happens simply because the Earth is a sphere and would be true if the Earth didn't rotate.
