The Coriolis effect does not affect the direction of water draining in sinks, tubs, or showers. The direction of water flow is determined by the shape of the vessel and the flow of water. Hurricanes twist in different directions in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the Coriolis effect.
The idea that water discharges in different directions in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the Coriolis effect is not true. The Coriolis effect is a consequence of the Earth’s rotational patterns, causing hurricanes to twist in different directions in the northern and southern hemispheres, but does not affect the way water drains into sinks, tubs or showers . Water can flow clockwise or counterclockwise in both hemispheres. Differences in the way water drains are caused by the flow of water into a vessel, as well as the shape of the vessel.
