On which side of a tropical cyclone are wind speeds the highest? (Hint: Be
sure to watch the videos associated with these Web pages.) What will be an ideal response?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the strongest winds are usually found on the right side of
the tropical cyclone, relative to the direction of travel. This is where the rotating winds
of the cyclone add to the preexisting global winds. (In the Southern Hemisphere, the
strongest winds are on the left side.)
