| Buys Ballot Law | If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, a storm's center and direction of travel can be determined by using Buys Ballot's Law. To do this, face the wind and extend your right arm out at about 90° - 135° from the direction you are facing. Your arm is now pointing approximately at the center of the storm. Periodic determinations like this will indicate the storm's relative movement and on which side of the hurricane's track line you are located. It is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere |
