Which one among the following statements relating to a cyclone is not correct ?

A cyclone is a large-scale wind circulation system characterized by a low-pressure center [c3, t9]. It typically brings sudden and drastic changes in weather conditions, including strong winds and heavy rainfall [c3]. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect deflects inward-moving winds to the right, resulting in a counter-clockwise rotation around the low-pressure center [c2, t1, t8]. Therefore, the statement claiming wind movement is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere is incorrect; clockwise rotation occurs only in the Southern Hemisphere [t2, t5]. Additionally, tropical cyclones are known by various regional names: they are called 'hurricanes' in the Atlantic and Caribbean (including the West Indies), 'typhoons' in the Western Pacific, and 'cyclones' in the Indian Ocean region [t3, t5].
