#5 I asked a retired hurricane hunter friend which direction the winds would rotate about this cyclone. He replied, "RE: your query about the winds on the tropical storm now approaching the southeast coast of South America. Excellent question. Those winds are moving in a CLOCKWISE motion. I know that not only from experience but I cheated a bit. I have access to the actual met sat pictures; same as ACCUWEATHER and I also have a Southern Hemisphere course in met sat interpretation. I don't have to just go by the 'winds in the northern hemisphere blow conter-clockwise around a low pressure area' adage. The winds blow clockwise around a low pressure area in the southern hemisphere. Mother Nature does some cheating herself, about 10-15 degrees either side of the geographic equator - bringing into play the so-called meteorological equator. This is due several factors; rotation of the earth, the season, geographical land features, or lack thereof, unequal heating caused both by the sun and ocean currents, coriolis force, and gravity, for a few of these factors. And those are only a few; there are probably two dozen or more lessor factors." Hope that is of interest to at least a few of you.

#12 Looking at the infrared imagery on this storm it is remarkable because the width of the storm is very small in relationship to the width of the eye. Thus the total kinetic energy in the system is pretty low for a tropical storm.
