curvature of earth....and distance from equator
|
the higher the latitude...the less likely a hurricane will go west. curvature of the earth. the farther north they go...the more likely they will continue to do so...barring forces that are stronger. Now, if the high pressures are competing and interfering with the steering currents...or if there are none...she will follow the more northerly trend....
explained as only a true novice can....
